Osceola Trail evidences significant, erosion, one blow down intruding on early part of trail with at least one failed water bar, brushing needed and an easy walk under between peaks. Blazing needed refreshing on GPT, rarely observed on OT.

Comments
Comments: Having only ever hiked this route in winter, it was interesting to see what the trails look like without the snow blanket. Enjoyed exploring large glacial erratics on OT. Saw the base of the slide for the first time, quite impressive.
