The OSCEOLAs (new date)
Hike Both Osceola Peaks
Details
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
Directions
We will us the trailhead on the Kancamagus Highway (Route 112) in Lincoln, New Hampshire.
From I-93, take exit 32 and follow the Kancamagus Highway (Route 112) for 9.7 miles East. The parking lot will be on the right hand side of the road, just after Big Rock Campground.
From Route 16 in Conway, New Hampshire, follow the Kancamagus Highway (Route 112) West for 26 miles. The parking lot will be on the left hand side of the road, just after the Hancock Overlook turn.
