Mount Isolation Trail Maps - Directions from the parking lot to the summit Top

The trail map below shows how to get to the summit of Mount Isolation via the Glen Boulder Trail, and the Davis Path.

From the Glen Ellis Parking area, hike along the Glen Boulder Trail 3.2 miles. (You will pass a junction with the Avalanche Brook Ski Trail after 0.8 miles, and hike over Slide Peak about 1.8 miles after that.) Glen Boulder is 1.6 miles from the parking lot. (Glen Boulder is a HUGE boulder, as the name says, in the middle of the Glen Boulder Trail, and can be seen from Route 16.)

After you hiked 3.2 miles on the Glen Boulder Trail and reach the junction with The Davis Path, turn left onto the Davis Path. Hike for 1.6 miles until you reach a junction with Isolation Trail. Stay left onto the Davis Path for 0.3 miles where you will find another junction with the Isolation Trail. Stay straight/right along the Davis Path for 0.9 miles until you reach the summit of Mount Isolation. To return to the parking lot, retrace your steps the way you came up.
