Very hot and muggy on this hike to the Osceolas. I started fairly early to beat the crowd and had the trail to myself on the way up to the first peak. Heading over to East I ran into a half dozen or so people. It was a bit hazy so the views were soft but very beautiful. Used the bypass on the way over but climbed up the chimney on the return to avoid waiting for people coming down the bypass. Been a while since I've used the Chimney so that was fun! The hike down was crowded as I thought it would be but still made ok time and finished in 5.5 hrs.
