"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. " — 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. 4/48. Continued from East Osceola (see previous report) and was just enamored with the corridors of green between the two mountains. I passed quite a few people in the col, and stopped to talk to a delightful couple, the woman telling me she is 76 (!!!) and started hiking at 65 (!!!), gosh I hope I am hiking at that age, she is my spirit animal. And didn’t look a day over 55, I was shocked! I scrambled and walked and scrambled and walked, and as I neared “the chimney” I heard some colorful language and heard what I recognized to be the sound of trekking poles being thrown from a height, which is where I met Jed (Jeb?) an excellent character hailing from Boston with a heck of an accent, barreling down the chimney. I stopped to speak to him for a few minutes and continued on my way, (& as Jed/Jeb promised, the chimney “ain’t sh*t”!). I slogged along on my hurting legs, and suddenly. The summit. Oh! Wow. Words really can’t describe. I took a couple of photos for 3 girls about my age, had them take a couple for me, relished my summit beer & hung out for about 20 minutes just enjoying the hell out of the view. What a perfect day. It was very windy and brisk at the summit, glad I h..." — kellieirene • Aug 23, 2018

"Nice beautiful day in NH. Hiked up from Triploi rd. Trail was nice and lots of trail work had been done to clear blow downs. We enjoyed a nice view at summit and took our time headed back!" — blackwolf_03278 • Jun 3, 2018

"Halfway decent day, some sun and fairly calm at the summit. Needed spikes, lots of icy parts. Up and over or down and under many blowdowns. People did a nice job cleaning it up." — Alohabuffy • Nov 12, 2017

"Perfect hiking weather! We hit the trailhead at 9:15am, after our standard lengthy pre-hike drive, and kept a good pace to the summit. The trail was fairly rocky, but pleasant and wide, and seemed to be extremely popular! We reached the summit in 1hr50min, and celebrated with a hearty half-lunch and time to enjoy the view. I also attempted to use the sun and an AMC map to figure out which mountains we were looking at... next time, I'll remember my compass. About 45min from there to the East Osceola summit. On the way back, we had some fun climbing up the chimney. Though heading back the way we came adds time and miles, I was thankful for a second glimpse of multiple lovely views on the Osceola trail. All in all, 6hr trip, including about 45min worth of breaks for meals and pictures." — gooner • Jul 29, 2017

"My first hike up Mt Osceola (my 3rd 4000 footer). I was accompanied by my wife, Kerrin, who bagged her first 4000 footer! Very rocky to start, then numerous switchbacks to the top. Great views to the east on a clear day, we also found limited views to the Franconia/Twin ranges." — gullyhiker • Jul 16, 2017

"Day 2 of our hiking weekend - Osceola and East Osceola. LOVED this hike! Started off at the Osceola Mountain trailhead ~8:30 am, a little warm and humid but a nice day. the trail starts off gentle and then begins a fun rocky, rooty climb of switchbacks. After 3.2 miles and only 2040' of gain we reached the summit of Osceola @ 4340' in ~ 1.5 hours - this includes lots of stops to chat and take in the great views along this trail so it can easily be done more quickly. The summit is an open ledge with incredible views - we stayed for a while to enjoy the sun, the company and the views. From Osceola we drop ~550' into a col before climbing the ridgeline to East Osceola ~ 1 mile away. Again, great trail! Its a nice, easy hike over to East Osceola with a little fun scrambling too! We drop ~550 into a col and then make our way to the summit in about 40 minutes. Although it is treed in there is a great viewpoint ~ 200' beyond the summit. On the way back we enjoyed a quick scramble up the Chimney - so much fun! Back to Osceola (very crowded so we didn't stay long this time) an then on our way down. 5.5 hours (4 hiking, 1.5 summit/view time), 8.4 miles RT with 2920' gain." — deb-and-rob • Jun 10, 2017
