 View of Mt. Washington from the summit of Mt. Davis |
This hike was a 2 day backpack trip over Stairs Mountain, Mt. Davis and Mt. Isolation. Jon and I followed the Rocky Branch trail, Stairs Col trail, Davis Path, Isolation trail and back to the Rocky Branch trail. We had a tough hike with lots of elevation, mud, puddles and stream crossings. However the views from the summits was spectacular. |

Danielle, Anthony and I picked a great day to hike to Mt. Isolation. We started the day by dropping Anthony's car off at the Rocky Branch trailhead at 6:00am and then headed to the Glen Boulder trail to begin our hike. |
Our
plan was to go up the Glen Boulder trail to the Davis Path. Follow the
path to Mt. Isolation and head out via the Rock Branch trail. This route
is about 13 miles, but all of the climbing is done at the beginning. Once
we made it to the Davis Path the trail was downhill the rest of the way. |

Once we reached the Davis Path we took another break to enjoy the views. It took us a couple of hours to reach Mt. Isolation, but we were heading downhill most of the way. We only passed one other hiker before we reached the summit. |

There
were a few other hikers already on the summit when we arrived. One of them
was finishing up his 48 New Hampshire 4,000 footers so we all gave him a
round of applause. Soon after a few other folks showed up who happened to
be friends with the author of the "4,000 Footers of the White
Mountains." One of the guys we met is on the cover of the book and
the another guy took the picture! |
