There were a few blowdowns, none were difficult though. In a few sections, there were some drainage issues where the trail could have benefitted from some bog bridges. |

 | Comments: |
It was a great hike. I heard from another hiker that climbing East Osceola still had some snow/ice on the trail and he recommended spikes. There was wasn't much snow on Greeley ponds trail. There were some small patches near the beginning, but they will likely be melted within the next day or two. Between the two lakes, there is a area of some small patches of snow, but most of it was off trail. Sections of the trail had both standing and running water on it. There was some mud but most of it was easily avoidable. |
