Erosion on DRT aside, there are a few trees to duck under, a couple to step around on ITW, and a few on MET (1 cut per tree would do). MET could use a general raking and widening near the top but was passable. |

 | Comments: |
At first I was just going to run up Isolation but needed Monroe too for May, so made it a 22 mile loop from 9:00 - 4:45. There were several cars at the trailhead but I only saw a couple people on my way up to Davis path. Lots of folks up high today and a large crowd and some kind of race at LOC hut. I was yelled at for going off trail (on rocks) The alpine flowers were blooming but I promise I didn’t step on any. |
