Comments
Comments: Probably a good idea to wear snowshoes on Greeley Ponds Trail, as lots of herdpath reroutes around blowdowns aren't too well packed. Spring snow down low, packed powder/frozen granular up high. Steeps to East Osceola are snowcovered, but with some frozen granular and footsteps, making descent in snowshoes a bit tough. Top of slide crossing has a big drift, making it hard to get up/down that part. Lots of snow on East Osceola and over to Osceola, blazes at snowlevel. Chimney filled with ice, bypass has some frozen granular on it. Wore snowshoes roundtrip.
