Comments
Comments: Very precarious hike. River crossing was very swift. Monorail was very thin and icy. Many difficult steep sections covered in ice. There was a section between East Osceola and Mt. Osceola which was very tricky- post-holing / spruce traps on one side and steep drop-off of monorail on other. Beautiful views from ledge past East Osceola and on summit of Mt. Osceola... But all in all, enough to make me done with hiking until all of the ice and snow is melted.
