Finding a bit of Isolation - 7/25/12

[mtruman]

For the last hike of our week in the Whites last week we did Isolation and knocked #43 off our list. What a fabulous day! Perhaps all those people telling stories about how bad the Rocky Branch and Isolation trails are have a plan to keep everyone away. We know the secret now...

Thanks for the personal weather update Ryan - you gave us the nudge to go ahead with this. Best advice ever!!!

and a peek at just what a terrible place this is

Nice! You know, I just realized after looking at these great photos that I have never been up in that area when there wasn't any snow! Gotta fix that soon! Thanks for posting!

Thanks Chris. Hopefully this winter we'll fix that situation in the opposite direction :)
