| Comments: |
Wore snowshoes from car to car, trails and whack were packed out and easy to follow but not firm enough to be done without snowshoes, if it gets cold and stays cold light traction would probably be fine. Nice morning on Isolation, looked like early April on the trails with small branches and pine needles scattered everywhere on top of old snow. Saw three other hikers and another trail runner out enjoying the day. |
