 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Some water running on sections of Greeley ponds trail. First 1/4 mile of Mt Osceola trail from Greeley Pond Junction saw some scouring due to running water, no running water there today though. 3 or 4 blowdowns between Greeley pond junction and ridge, a couple along the ridge to E.Osceola. AT E.Osceola Lookout and summit there are two clusters of blowdown/leaners involving several trees. Several additional scattered blowdown between E. Osceola and the chimney. Most are duck-under, a few step over. Size varies, but most in the 6-12 inch range. The trail is passable. Blowdowns didn't appear to slow anybody down. |
