Mount Osceola is a 4,340-foot (1,320 m) peak within the
White Mountains of New Hampshire. Located in the White Mountain National Forest, the mountain is named for Osceola, the early-19th century Seminole leader. It is the highest peak in the Waterville Valley region.[2]
Osceola can be ascended from the Greeley Pond Trail to the northeast of the mountain, which requires crossing the
Mount Washington
in the northeast to the town of Waterville Valley in the south.
