 | Comments: |
Not sure if the bushwhack we broke out is the correct one but we followed one set of tracks. Some barebooters messed it up a bit.
Isolation Trail a bit lumpy from the barebooters also. There were lots of people with snowshoes so hopefully they smooth it a bit. Lower part of Isolation and Rocky Branch were also consolidated. |
