Rocky Branch from Rte 16 is ok. The Engine hill side is rock hopping as a stream has taken over. Rocky Branch shelter #2 was ok, still standing.
Isolation trail was muddy with tough river crossings. Lots of Ice and mud traps. Mt Isolation was perfect. The Davis Path suffers from a lot of erosion like everywhere else. No snow, just lots of black ice in bad places. Only water i found (davis path) were a couple spring streams on the north side of Davis. one stream on N side of Stairs, but it was sketchy. |
