Mt. Osceola, Mt. Osceola (East Peak)
Livermore, NH, Lincoln, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The rough Mt. Osceola Trail to Mt. Osceola
Route: Mt. Osceola Trail
Trail was generally dry, with the exception of the normal mudpits near the summit of Osceola and the slabs about 3/4 of the way up. The slabs are pretty tough, as they're angled and there isn't much room to get around them.
Fairly dry between the peaks. Very little dampness in the chimney.
Noted an area has been logged next to the parking lot that could more than double the capacity.
Nice weather; stark contrast with two days ago!

Directions to trailhead: From Waterville Valley, take Tripoli Road (bear right at the entrance to the ski area) to the top of the gap. Just after the road turns from pavement from dirt, the Mt. Osceola WMNF fee parking lot appears on the right. The trailhead is located at the back of the parking lot.
