"An Osceola and Tecumseh kind of day. I needed all 3 for my May Grid. Tripolii Rd was open and I headed up Osecola from that side. I made quick time and tagged the summit. Overcast day. I then headed over to East Osceola and tagged that summit. On the return, I went up the chimney. I also saw the butt end of a snowshoe hare before the Osceola summit. I quickly reached my car on the descent. For Tecumseh, I went up the back side. It is longer but more mellow. I got to use my silky saw for the first time and delimbed a blowdown on the ascent. I tagged the summit and came back down. " — newenglandwarrior • May 26, 2022

"I needed the Osceolas to close out my 8th loop, but I didn't need them for anything else. I headed up the Tripolii side, crossed Osceola, then down to East Osceola to finish my loop. I then went back over Osceola, and took the faint herd path towards Middle and West Osceola. I needed West Osceola for my TW72. There was a view over there. I then came back up the herd path and headed back to the car. " — newenglandwarrior • Jun 11, 2021

"Osceolas and Middle Osceola today. Holy crap, were there people out. Roughly 60 people on the summit of Osceola. We will not be doing 4000 footers on the weekends this summer. " — newenglandwarrior • Jul 18, 2020

"Second attempt this year. The first failed attempt was in winter and the ice and short day turned us back. Between the summer weather and the longer day, today was a successful attempt. Took Greely Ponds trail to East Osceola. Uneventful but fun day with family. " — hiking4000 • Jun 14, 2020

"After a failed attempt in winter due to ice and a late start my dad, uncle, cousins, and I accomplished this hike. Nothing remarkable happened but the hike was very enjoyable. " — Eloise200 • Jun 14, 2020

"With my Grid for March done, now I would help out others. Joined Juel on an attempt on the Osceolas. Couldn't park at the trailhead. Had to park slightly up the road. Steep as always going up East. We tagged both summits." — newenglandwarrior • Mar 5, 2019

"Great hike up E. Osceola and over to Osceola. Tons of snow. Pretty decent footing, even in the steep sections. Going up and down the chimney is a wild thing in snow and ice. Sadly, nothing but thick fog on the summits. Snowshoes door to door." — Alohabuffy • Feb 3, 2019

"It has been awhile since I combined both of these hikes into a day. But I needed them for my Grid and didn't have much time. This was my last hike in October in NH. Tecumseh was quick. Same with the Osceola's. Didn't feel to bad after hiking the Osceola's. Picked up 3 peaks today. 8.4 miles." — newenglandwarrior • Oct 5, 2018

"2 semaines solo de pure plaisir à faire du hiking à différentes places dont les Whites Moutains. Derniere journée de mon voyage. Mes pieds et jambes me disent d'arrêter maintenant! Je vais les écouter et faire ces deux derniers sommets avant de quitter. Encore une fois, ce fut une très belle expérience. J'ai adoré la vu rendu au sommet! C'est vraiment magnifique!!!!" — fsoucy76 • Sep 30, 2018

"Solo. 3/48. My legs were feeling questionable as I rolled out of my bed at the hotel, but damn it was a beautiful blue sky morning, and it’s not like I have anywhere else to be, so off I went. My car said it was 55 out. I hit the trail at 08:45, beginning at Greeley Ponds (or as locals affectionately corrected me, “off the Kanc,”). The initial ~1.3mi was beautiful, flat, and at one point, well-loved. Unfortunately over time a lot of the half logs helping over the very wet trail have rotted through, but it wasn’t really an issue for navigation. There was one small stream crossing to rock hop, but again no problem. The winds on this part of the trail were downright impressive. I had honest concerns about possibly being hit by blowdown, thankfully today wasn’t that day. At the junction for the Osceola Trail, things picked up, and I enjoyed nice scrambles followed by some flat, followed by scrambles. Considering the rain yesterday, things weren’t too wet & I dragged my dead legs up the trail of huge rocks. Who doesn’t love a good scramble though?! I almost sailed right past the summit, but the cairn caught my attention & I stopped to take a photo before I continued on. Mileage & time r..." — kellieirene • Aug 23, 2018
