This was our second hike on the Osha Spring Trail. As on the earlier outing (Osha Spring Trail Hike), we’re anticipating a future hike to the Land’s End Mine. The day was chilly with snow flurries, and a muddy trail in spots, so it was shortened.

I urge you to explore our hiking tracks with Google Earth. With the virtual 3-dimensional presentation, achieved by panning and tilting the view, you can get a much better idea of the hikes and terrain than you can get from the 2-dimensional screenshot above.
