Land OwnerCamp Grier
The Rostan Trail connects the town of Old Fort via the Copper Ridge (Fonta Flora) Trail from Old US 70 and the Gateway Trail System off Curtis Creek Road.
SEASONAL TRAIL: Closed from Memorial Day to Labor Day each year for camp season
Trail bed is wide single track with occasional gravel road connectors. The west end is steep and narrow and depending on your direction, you'll have one heck of a climb or descent. A steep section in the middle "the wall" is planned for reroute. The rest of the trail is moderate.
Disclaimer
Camp Grier is Private Land - Only Yellow Blazed Rostan Trail is open to public from Labor Day to Memorial Day
