Blow downs were recently cleared, nice job! The section of the Davis Path from Iso east to the spur sucks. The ancient remnants of the log crossings tell me they were installed 30+ years ago. Time for some new work. |

Wet windy day...still quite a few hikers visiting Iso. The section of the Davis Path above the tree line was the worse in terms of wind. On my way up I passed 5 hikers descending saying they couldn't take the wind. By the time I got to the Davis path it had died considerably. But on the return it was howling and blowing rain sideways. Luckily there's plenty of scrub on the Glen B trail to duck into. Seems like most hikers had taken the Rocky Branch trail which must have been wet. I passed four hikers on my way down Glen B. around 3:30 pm who were headed to Iso. They looked well prepared and strong but I'm guessing they may have been hiking in the dark on the way back. This was my first time descending Glen B and given the choice I would prefer descending Boott Spur even with the mile road walk back to the car. |
