I arrived about 9am to a nearly full lot. A lot of people were on Isolation today. There is a great snow shoe track for the entire hike. Snow shoes would be the best choice at this time. I broke out the ISO Express on my hike up and two separate groups of four used it for their descent. It’s a good but soft snow shoe track now and you definitely need snow shoes. There was a lot more snow compared to earlier this month and I hit one spruce trap and sank up to my armpits. A very mild day with limited views from the top. Nice to run into Guy and Gary and other familiar faces. |
