East Osceola, Mt. Osceola via Greeley Ponds Trail, Mt. Osceola Trail
Date of Hike: Saturday, November 1, 2008
Trail Conditions: Ice, snow, wet trail
Special Equipment Required: Light traction not bad idea, but not required
Comments:
Greeley Ponds Trail to Osceola Trail - wet, but trail is snow and ice free. Water crossings not much of a problem. No blowdowns.
Snow and ice start shortly up the Osceola Trail. Some icy spots below the slide, slide a bit icy and snow covered. About 1-2 inches of snow starting around there. One blowdown, which I cut up.
Osceola Trail from East Osceola to Mt. Osceola - some snow, some ice. Chimney and chimney bypass virtual snow and ice free. Two blowdowns (one in the snow, another about 5 feet high, walk under), no problem to get by.
I was able to bareboot the entire hike. Folks coming up from Tripoli said that portion of the trail was much icier than the that between the peaks.
