 | Comments: |
The Greeley Ponds Ski Path was extremely wet and muddy. It wasn't impassable, but you'll have to walk through the woods adjacent to the ski path, which will slow your progress a bit.
Once the Mount Osceola Trail started to ascend, there was evidence of some ice and snow on the sides of the trail. At higher elevations, there was more ice along the trail (which was avoidable) and eventually there was about an inch of snow covering the trail between East and Main Osceola summits. The snow made for a very scenic hike! |
