I always really enjoy the Dry River area!!!! Seems far more strenuous than you would expect from looking at the map due to all the re-routes way up above the Dry River. Wasn't sure if I wanted to do Eisenhower or Isolation from the Dry River - I always like the Isolation Trail so I headed there. Lots of nice treadway with soft dirt - a REAL pleasure in this day and age of totally eroded trails to 4K's. Of course, it is quite indirect :) hence, a great trail. Good time of year with low water. As expected, saw almost nobody until got to the Davis Path near Isolation. This is my favorite route to Isolation. :) Very fun day!!! |
