Although most of this hike is in the woods, the summit of Mt. Osceola opens up into some fairly scenic open ledges, overlooking Waterville Valley. We will start hiking at 2,280 feet at the
We will meet at the trailhead parking lot on Tripoli Road. The best way to get there is to take exit 31 (Tripoli Road) from I-93 and go east 7 miles to just west of the height-of-land at Thornton Gap. The hiker's parking area will be on your left. If it's full, you can park on the side of Tripoli Road. Please note that Tripoli Road is not paved for most of the way. If it's more convenient, you can also access Tripoli Road from the Waterville Valley Ski Resort. If you are heading east on Rt. 49, turn left right before you enter the village, where the sign directs you to the ski area. In about a mile, bear right at the fork on the road, pass a gate (it should be open then), at the next fork, bear left, and continue a couple of miles on Tripoli Road to the trailhead parking area described above.
