 | Comments: |
Decided to hike the Osceolas the FUN way. One skier/snowshoer went up approx. 1 mile. The rest of it we tracked out. Glorious. Lots of postholes on the section between the two summits. Only one spruce grouse (no ice axe required). Attempted kite flying, but had major malfunction. Saw no other hikers but we started late.
Well packed trail for those under 150lb =). |
