Beautiful almost summer like hike of these three peaks. Spikes along as windchimes today as trails were 85 perce t snow and ice free. remaining inconsistent icy/rotten monorail started at approx 3900 feet. Descending from Mt Osceola trail was bare. Herdpath to Middle Osceola was a mix of bare ground and patchy snow.... enough to cool my ankles. It was nice to see summit canister on Middle was replaced since my last trip out there in October. It was nice crossing paths with fellow White Mountain Wanderers as well as several others enjoying this stellar May morning. |
