 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trail is in good shape with fall foliage in peak form. Trail has not yet been covered with fallen leaves, but that will likely change by next weekend. While there are hardly any blazes, trail was quite easy to follow with well-defined rock / boulder path from trailhead to summit. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Most dogs shouldn't have much problem up to summit of Osceola. Terrain changes dramatically after Osceola to East Osceola and chimney may pose problems for inexperienced hiking dogs. |

 | Lost and Found: |
Red-framed reading glasses placed on a rock about a mile or so in from the trailhead. Brought them out and placed on the trailhead kiosk. |
