| TLP | forgot the camera  Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2009 | |
| which was a shame because it really was a nice day out. I think I made good time reaching the summit, but going back took me longer! My route was the Glen Boulder trail to the Davis Path. It was pretty muddy, and it sucks when you're hiking uphill on your way "down." Isolation does have some fine views though. | |

| Took the Glen Boulder trail to Davis Path. My buddy didn't want to carry too much water and only brought one liter. I had 2. He figured to fill up along the trail, but after passing up a few streams early on, everything else was non-existant or bone dry. It ws really hot and we were dying for water by the end of the trip. So take plenty. Better views than expected from the top though. | |

| Climbed with Washington via the Davis Path from Lakes of the Clouds. Encountered some brief 60-mile-an-hour winds while traversing the Boott Spur. Beautiful remote summit with great views of Washington and the Southern Presidentials. If there's one 4000' in New Hampshire that lives up to its name this is it! | |

| I do not remember the exact date. My dad dragged me up this on his quest to get us both up all the NH 4000 footers by the time I was 16. I do remember seeing someone's camping gear (sans someone) scattered trailside as if someone had discarded it all in a rage (which is not out of the question). | |

| Had great LOCAL views of the pine trees, summit cairn, and clouds. The yellow foliage on the way up was outstanding and made up for the lack of views. I can come here to this page to see what I missed. | |

| We made a 19-mile loop to get this one peak but the views really paid off. | |

| Seth Maciejowski | Route Climbed: Glen Boulder to Boot Spur and out to isolation Date Climbed: October 1999 | |
| High winds and a non-typical approach with heavy packs made this an interesting hike. It's a long way using this approach, and you are actually far higher on Boott spur then on isolation but cool none the less. Isolation summit is, like the name suggests, isolated. It sits above the dry river wilderness and you can't see too many man made objects. | |

| jhiker | Route Climbed: Davis Path Date Climbed: July 2005 | |
| Climbing via the Davis path makes a long hike even longer, but the lower summits to the south of Isolation have impressive views and the trail is not heavily trafficked. Its a great way to go. I came down the Isolation trail to Dry river. Doesn't it often happen that the views of the highest peaks are more beautiful than the views from the highest peaks? | ||

| On descent of Davis Path, Mt Isolation looks so small and wooded that I wasn't sure which bump it was, so I was very surprised to discover the fine views from the summit. | |
