Comments
Comments: Beautiful hike of Mt Isolation with perhaps the best bushwhack conditions ive ever encountered in winter months.A huge thanks to Jim Jorgensen and the masked Avenger aka Cone Demon for breaking out this track. Travel was Steve McQueen fast. Snowshoes from the start to summit to utilize heel lifts. Micros for the return trip. Hopefully trail conditions remain this good with impending weather. It was great crossing paths and chatting with Fawn, Rick,Chris(glad you won the ice cream) and company as well as many others enjoying this fun hike.
