Comments
Comments: No better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than visiting Mount Isolation. First stretch of Rocky Branch required Microspikes. Broke the Wilderness sign and figured it was a good time to put the snowshoes on because the snow was adding up quick and the bushwhack will definitely require snowshoes. Reached the T and sent it and tried our best to make the bushwhack as good as possible. May have bushwhacked a little low, but managed to make it back to Rocky Branch and cut out two river crossings. Both river crossings had rocks to hop and we ended up crossing another? Punched out the rest and made it to Isolation and snowshoed all the way back to the trailhead.
