One last hike before the hurricane. After spotting a car at the Mt. Osceola Trail trailhead, we headed to the Livermore lot and took the Greeley Ponds Trail from the Livermore Trail. The grades were generally gentle and the footing decent. Excellent views from the ponds. The Mt. Osceola Trail was steep as usual to East Osceola, and rough as usual for the last mile or so to the Mt. Osceola parking lot.

Directions to trailhead: Take Tripoli Road from the Waterville Valley ski area entrance to Livermore Road. Bear right at the Tripoli Road seasonal gate, then take an immediate to get to the Livermore WMNF fee parking lot. To get to the Mt. Osceola parking area, head up Tripoli Road, just past the height of land. The WMNF fee parking lot will be on the right.
