| Comments: |
We hiked in snowshoes up and back. A couple people had spikes, but once on Mt Osceola trail you’re better off with snowshoes. Especially between East and Osceola-snow got deeper.
The chimney bypass was good but tricky as there’s not really enough snow on the rock to get traction but it’s ok. |
