| For our second trip up Mt. Osceola we were carrying an American flag to the summit of East Osceola. This was our contribution to the Flags on the 48 commemoration which honored the victims of the September 11 attacks one year ago. Anthony joined us so he could bag a couple more 4,000 foot peaks. We also met the guys carrying the flag up to Osceola and hiked with them for a while. |

The trail
up Osceola passes by some boulders
and is rocky in
sections, but has many switch backs which makes for easy climbing. We
arrived at the summit in just over 2 hours. From the cliffs on the summit
we had some great views in all
directions. However, we did need to be
careful not to get too close to the edge since it was rather steep.
After a quick break we continued on our way along the steep and rocky trail to the east peak so we could hang our flag. We arrived there about 40 minutes later. |

 Mt. Osceola summit | O.k. so the picture is a little dark, but that is me and Danielle on the summit of Osceola. We are leaning on a concrete support that once held down a fire tower. |

From the summit of Osceola me and Danielle decided to head over to East Osceola and bag another 4,000 foot summit. |
