Rocky Branch, Engine Hill Bushwack, David Path, Isolation trail
Up to the engine hill bushwack, microspikes were sufficient. Snow shoes were needed for the rest of the hike. I was the first person up the trail after the snow on 12/22 and so I had to break trail.
Finding the engine hill bushwack was pretty easy, but there were points where I lost track of it and broke a new path, but it ended up in the correct place.
There were points where the snow drifts were several feet. There were two hikers who came up the trail after me, so the snow is likely more packed than it was when I got up there. |
