Mount Osceola

Beautiful fall day. Started out chilly and drizzling - although sunny driving up. Took rain jacket off in about 1/2 mile. Still passing clouds but lots of frequent sun. Was 50 degrees at base and proceeded to get colder on the way up. People coming down said it had snowed (when it was raining at base). Saw evidence of little hail balls. At top it was 20 degrees and very windy - stayed only long enough to take pictures and put North Face Windstopper jacket on (which is a great jacket!).

Took me 1:50 on the way up and 2:10 on the way down. Was walking a bit slower coming down as well as eating and drinking the remainder of my stuff, and futzing with the tightness of my boot laces...
