| Comments: |
Lack of rain probably made this route easier than usual. Rocky Branch and Isolation trail still had their fair share of long stretches of walking across rocks to avoid getting wet. The most significant mud is on Davis Path just before arriving at the Isolation Spur, but really wasn't all that bad. Only time my feet got slightly wet was a careless step here and there, but all water and mud can be avoided if careful.
Great views from Isolation on a clear day. Only crossed paths with a handful of people all day. |
