 | Comments: |
The herd path from the last switchback before the Osceola summit is relatively easy to follow the short distance to Middle peak and though somewhat sketchy in places from there to West peak, certainly not difficult to follow. Tremendous views to the east from the granite ledge (Peggy's Perch) just off the West summit. Hiked with GlennS. A great day to be out. |
