 | Comments: |
Trail is rock solid up to the junction with the Osceola Trail. Very firm after that until some lose snow in-between the peaks. Chimney by-pass didn't have much snow but the rocks provided good foot\hand holds. We wore snow shoes from the car over to Mt Osceola and back to East. We switched to hillsounds for the descent and they provided just the right amount of traction. It was very nice to meet Bob and Wayne. Good luck on your quest. Thanks again to Ali for a great hike. |
