| Comments: |
Trail was broken nicely from the trailhead of rocky branch, to engine hill bushwhack, to isolation trail, and finally Davis Path all the way to the summit. Bushwhack was broken out nicely and is very easily followed. On Rocky Branch Trail look for the T in the trail. A solid group of 8 made it all the way to the summit, 3 celebrating their 48th. 3 others were out on the trail, but were unable to summit, 2 of those 3 were barebooters and left post holes. However, everyone who summitted wore snowshoes out to make the trail more packed down. |
