Comments
Comments: Beautiful foliage and a fun trail. Good traction on the headwall, even with somewhat wet rocks. Lots of rime ice on the ridge but still didn't need any traction devices. Osgood was a leg killer with the long descent over the talus fields, but the views made it worth it. The leaves were at (or even past) peak, so I imagine they will be falling quickly with any storms that pass through.
