A nice cool day for this hike to Osceola. Temps from 0 to 20 with a light breeze at the summit. Clear blue sky with great views but there were some high thin clouds to the southwest. Saw no hikers today but thanks to the weekend hikers that packed down a good trail. I used stabilicers and poles from the parking area and back, my snowshoes had a free ride today. The only tricky area was where it was icy and steep just below East peak. |
