mt osceola

traversing rocks carved by water and fellow hikers

the ascent feels like connecting puzzle pieces

canopy above offers plenty of shade and cooler temperatures

complimentary moss below captures forest moisture and the many streams that carve their way down

first views above tree line offer context of how vast these white mountains are, epic in their size and greenery

at summit, ranges display the many peaks in the distance

more shaded areas still shades of green while sunny spots are well on their way in red

descending down, walking carefully on the reverse route, microclimates seem to come at every turn

to trek these woods with diligence is good for many reasons
