The only major crossing, which is about 1/4 mile from the road, was a little difficult. I went upstream about 200 feet and found decent rocks to cross on. I found out my boots leak as they were wet inside from the crossings, water flowing on the trail and the few postholes when I stepped off of the monorail. |

 | Comments: |
A great day with temps from 35 to 65 with clear blue sky and no wind. Saw 6 hikers and 1 dog. The trails were wet with running water and mud down low and a semi solid monorail with up to 4 feet of snow on the Mt. Osceola Trail. Wore microspikes on the monorail and needed the traction on the steep sections of the trail. |
