Summary

Note: I'm planning to start posting several weekday hikes which will hopefully attract guys who have to work weekends or retirees who want to join more hikes.

We will hike to both Osceola peaks from the Greeley Pond Trail via the Kancamagus.

These are two 4000 footers - East Osceola standing at 4,156 feet and Mount Osceola at 4,340 feet.  

During the hike there are fantastic views of Waterville Valley.  This is an out & back hike (3.8 miles each way).

 Note:  The most challenging part is between the two mountains (it is known as "The Chimney") a rocky steep incline -- but there is a by-pass trail on the side of it to avoid the rocks.

Distance :  7.6 Miles

Estimated Elevation Gain:  3100

Estimated Time (with breaks, lunch & posing for pictures):   6.5 hours max
