Decided to check these two off the list today, snow and rain be damned. There was about 3-4 inches right from the get go, turned into a hard crust and then to wet mush on the way up East Osceola. Tough going, the snow got up to about 6 inches maybe more by Osceola. Tough breaking the wet snow on the steeps because it was on solid ice. Kali and I made it out and back in four hours. Trail is broken out as much as one girl and her dog can do. Lots of wind and no views, hike on anyway! |
