Mt. Isolation hike trip, Saturday August 21

[amstony]

Several of us are heading out to Mt. Isolation on Saturday, August 21 as a day hike. We'll be leaving out of the Glen Boulder trailhead at approximatwely 7:45 AM. The route is a traverse- using Glen Boulder/Davis Path to Mt. Isolation/return via Davis path to Mt. Isolation trail and then out the Rocky Branch to the trailhead. Stats for the trip are 13.3 miles, 3800 feet elevation gain, book time 8 hours 35 minutes. Pace is moderate.

If your interested in going let me know.

Ugh. Unfortunately, family obligations will keep me out of this trip. But I'm hoping if the weather cooperates, I can take Monday and/or Tuesday off and do it from Rocky Branch (Route 16).

I'd be very interested, however, in reading post-trip report from you, particularly concerning the stream crossings.

Have fun!

I'll post it late Saturday night or on Sunday so you can check it.

Needless to say we postponed this hike for a hopefully sunnier day. We did Waumbek instead, see trip report

Tony, good call on bumping Isolation for Waumbek. I also saved Waumbek on a 'no view' day. although Starr King looked to offer some great views that I'll have to go back for.

If you are in no rush to get Isolation I know there are more than a few folk itching to go there when the Whites put their winter cloaks back on.

Given the forecast I passed on the usual 200+ mile each-way commute this weekend but I'll be up later this week for a Friday adventure
