 | Comments: |
The snow on Mt. Osceola Trail is softening and there are lots of pot holes. I used snowshoes all the way to E. Osceola. It was tough going on the very steep section; I didn't feel I had enough traction. I saw about 9 other hikers and they all wore microspikes.On the descent I used microspikes until trail was less steep. Snow had softened even more and more potholes.
A beautifl day to hike. |
