| Comments: |
Up Iso from the Rocky Branch side, then up Boote Spur on Davis Path and down Glen Boulder. RBT was wet in the usual downhill from the height of land to the shelter. Moderate mud was the norm there to Davis Path on Iso East.
Fantastic day out with gf Becky for my NH48x2 completion, and glad we decided to summit Boote Spur. Long views and a fun bike ride down from Pinkham to finish the day. Tough decent down Glen Boulder trail, tricky in a couple spots. A strong breeze held the black flies at bay and kept us cool above treeline. Already well on my way to round 3 with 37 peaks! A fine kind of madness!! |
