About this event

For a four thousand footer, the Mt. Osceola hike is a relatively moderate ascent.  The round trip is approximately six miles long, and it is a gradual ascent & descent.  There are some steep parts that are generally short and sweet.  There are great views from the open ledges at the top, of the Waterville Valley area right below, of Mt. Moosilauke to the west, and the southern sections of the White Mountains just to the north and east.  Bring at least a couple of liters of water, as there is no potable water on the trail.  Also bring some lunch and/or snacks.  If the weather is nice, we will take a leisurely long break at the top.  Rain will cancel this event.

Hi Guys: The weather report for Saturday is as follows: High of 76, with a 60% probability of rain, which gets clarified as "scattered thunderstorms, mostly in the afternoon. I say we should go ahead and meet at the trailhead as planned, and take it from there. If worst comes to worst, we can either skip the summit, or be ready to come down to treeline if thunderstorms do threaten. In any event, do bring rain gear.

Due to heavy rains all day, I am forced to cancel this hike. Sorry about that, but the weather is definitely not good for doing this. Hope you all get this message on time, before you hit the road.

I am planning, however, to do this hike (same time, same place) tomorrow Sunday, as it is supposed to be drier. Rick, and perhaps Dave can make it, so we will definitely be doing it. If you can, come join us for the re-scheduled hike. Just shoot me an e-mail if you can make it on Sunday.
