7.7 miles Adam Rosenfield John Romanishin Kelly Walters Yuval Kochman Our goal was to hike Mt. Isolation via the Glen Boulder Trail and returning via the Rocky Branch Trail to avoid the 1500 feet of elevation gain on the way back up the Davis Path from Mt. Isolation. That would have been 13.6 miles, and we'd have ended up at a different trailhead form where we started. However, the going was very slow on the Glen Boulder Trail. The snow was very soft and deep, and the trail was quite steep at points. Since we only had one pair of snowshoes among the four of us, we were postholing a lot. When we reached Slide Peak, we were way behind schedule, so we opted instead to swing around Boott Spur back to Pinkham Notch, which also had the advantage of not requiring a long road walk or hitchike to get back to our car. Mt. Isolation will have to wait for another time. |
