 | Comments: |
We car spotted and hiked the Glen Boulder to Rocky Branch Traverse. The absolute best way to get Isolation. The weather was beautiful. Great views on Glen Boulder. We took two bw's/herd paths: Iso and mini engine hill. The herd paths were pleasant and easy to follow. There are some muddy areas but manageable. Just watch your step as the mud is deep in some spots. No snow except for a few small patches. There is some significant running water on parts of Rocky Branch. We encountered some bugs mostly coming down on Rocky Branch. The breeze kept them away until then. One water crossing after the ISO BW which was fine.
