Old Osgood Trailhead

Curious if this is still followable from the auto road. All thoughts welcome.

I have no experience on this old trail. I searched (via goggle) and found this old post here, by the trail maintainer at that time:

https://www.vftt.org/threads/visiting-a-section-of-"ye-olde"-osgood-trail-doing-a-short-loop-hike-02-jan-2009.27121/

It includes a map of the old Osgood route, with discussion of the water crossing etc. It says it's generally part of the Glen House trail system now. They publish current Summer and Winter maps here:

https://greatglentrails.com/trail-map-winter/

Caltopo does show the old trail on their historic layer.

All the best in finding the route.

Here's a Steve Smith report from that same era, 2009. It refers to the Views poster I linked above, who also comments there in the blog. As usual, Steve's report and photos are concise, evocative, and will induce you to get up and go hike there.

(There's no mention of the old Osgood trail).

Thanks. Appreciate it. I have a season pass to GG and am up there a lot so was curious. Might make for a fun casual exploratory hike one of these days. Worst case it’s a short whack over to Madison Gulf. And that trail comes very close to the back side of the GG system near the warming hut.
