| kavak | Wild Basin TH  Date Climbed: Sep 26, 2004 | |
| I went up this one by myself in the snow because afterall it is named Isolation Peak. And true to its name I did not see anyone until I got back down to Bluebird Lake. I also tagged Mahana Peak along the way. | |

| Felt like I flew along to Isolation Lake, then got bogged down figuring out where the actual mountain was located. Didn't trust my GPS, which ended up being correct. Bad spill on the descent when some talus tipped over and send me tumbling down head first. Scraped hands and arms, and a smashed hip that has left the worst bruise of my life. About 10:25 CTC, with lots of photography breaks. Great hike to Isolation Lake - not terribly keen on the ascent/descent of the peak from there. Mine was only about the sixth registry entry of the year...isolation indeed. | |

| MarkDidier | Day of Total Isolation Date Climbed: Aug 29, 2007 | |
| The most adventurous day of hiking in my life. Went up Bluebird Lake Trail and out around Box Lake to Thunder Lake Trail. We unfortunately only had about 10 minutes on the summit as the Thunderheads were rolling in. We saw no one the entire day so the peak name is appropriate. | |

| Hiked from Wild Basin TH to Chickadee Pond on the trail, gained Mahana's east ridge, summitted Mahana and went on to Isolation. Descended same route. A beautiful spring day! | |

| Yet another long hike into wild basin. Very pretty area without much traffic. Most of the people signed in the summit register were from the Y in Estes Park. | |

| NanitaD | From Wild Basin Ranger Station Date Climbed: Jul 24, 1999 | |
| We left the Wild Basin ranger station very early that morning. When we reached the saddle we could see clouds moving in from both directions and scrambled to the summit with just enough time to touch the summit and run for cover. Lightening struck somewhere close to the summit as we hunkered down in the rain. We were going to climb Ouzel and Ogalalla that day, but because of the weather had to return in August for those summits. | |

| An unbelievable day of weather. I lost about an hour getting off route but the weather was so good I had no issues continuing to Isolations summit. I didn't see a soul from 5:00am till 3:00 pm. Wild Basin is quite expansive, glad to fnally get in there. | |
