|  |  |  | Comments: | It was a great day to hike Isolation. Since the last conditions report on this trail on 9/26 that reported dry trails and little mud, we got rain so I ended with wet, muddy boots - but who cares when you practically have the trail to yourself! We only saw about 4 people all day until the Davis Path and the summit. Despite the water and mud this is a great trail for an enjoyable 14 miles in the Dry River Wilderness. |  |  |  |  | Name: | Kristen |  |  |  |  | E-Mail: | lodgek@gmail.com |  |  |  |  | Date Submitted: | 2020-10-05 |  |  |  |  | Link: |  https://kristenlodge.com/mount-isolation-via-rocky-branch-trail/ |  |  |  | Disclaimer:  Reports are not verified - conditions may vary.
