| Comments: |
Greeley pond trail is wet/snowy/slushy. Streams are free flowing with no ice. Mount Osceola Trail is snow covered with ice bulges starting to build. Traction is needed. Trail between East Osceola and Osceola is snow covered and the chimney has some ice in it, the right angled ramp was fine. |
