East Osceola Mountain is a 4,156 foot mountain in the Sandwich Range in Lincoln, New Hampshire, Grafton County in the White Mountains. East Osceola Mountain is not one of the New Hampshire 4,000 footers known for it's spectaular views like Mount Washington, or Mount Lafayette offer. The views at the summit are extremely limited, because it is surrounded by trees. You can find a thin path near the summit that veers off the path for roughly 25 feet to an outlook area, which is still difficult to make out good views.
The easiest and most common trail used to reach East Osceola Mountain's summit is the Greeley Pond Trail begginging on the Kancamagus Highway (Route 112) in Lincoln, New Hampshire. Shortly after a mile on the trail, there is a fork at the Mount Osceola Trail that goes up to the summit of East Osceola Mountain. Another popular option is to peak bag the mountain along with Mount Osceola. You can do this by continuing your hike over East Osceola Mountain for 1 more mile on the Mount Osceola Trail until you reach Osceola's summit. (or you can peak bag the 2 mountains from starting your hike on that trail, rather than the Greeley Pond Trail, via Tripoli Road in Livermore, New Hampshire.
