Barebooted to engine hill as the trail was mush but had little base to it so snowshoes could have helped but could have also done nothing. Put on snowshoes at the beginning of engine hill and kept them on to the summit and back to rocky branch where we barebooted to the car. Saw three other hikers, two barebooters one in snowshoes. If you have a free day tomorrow Isolation is a good get right now, bushwhacks are all well defined and easy to follow making for a quick trip before the potential snow Thursday night. |
