1. New England 4000+ ft Mountains

East Osceola & Mt. Osceola (60-61 of 67)

Peaks 60 and 61 for this year would be East Osceola at 4,156 ft and Mt. Osceola at 4,340 ft. I hiked them on 12-21-14 on a day that was cloudy and only cleared up slightly by the time I was back to the car. The wind was averaging only 2 mph which made the summit temperature of 19 degrees quite bearable. The hike was 7.82 miles with 2,351 feet of overall gain and 3,338 feet of total elevation gain.

  • A short section of steeper trail
  • One of the few steeper spots heading back up East Osceola
  • A look back towards Mt. Osceola from a small viewpoint on the trail

  • A view to the north with clouds both below and above me now
  • Back to the viewpoint on the northern side of East Osceola.  The sun wants to shine through the clouds, but is having a hard time of it
  • A closer look at the ridge
  • Looking through the trees
  • Looking through the trees at clouds
