Mt. Isolation via Rocky Branch Trail, Engine Hill Bushwhack, Isolation Trail, bushwhack, Davis Path, Isolation Summit Spur
Date of Hike: Sunday, February 22, 2009
Trail Conditions: Packed powder
Special Equipment Required: Snowshoes
Comments:
BIG thanks to J&J and their group for doing an amazing job breaking out this hike on Saturday!
Rocky Branch was well packed to the bushwhack entrance and apparently beyond.
Engine Hill bushwhack was well packed.
Isolation Trail was well packed. Water was only crossed once, and that crossing was completely snowbridged. A bushwhack was used up high to reach the Davis Path slightly faster than via sticking on trail (though the kosher way appeared to be broken out, though it may have meandered from the trail a bit).
Davis Path had a slight bit of drifting, but was otherwise well packed. Lots of branches in the face!
