We cannot watch this one yet. It is not reservable through recreation.gov. Nothing here will alert you — browse what we do watch.
A short hike up to the summit and then down a spur trail will reveal spectacular views of the Wild River Valley. Hikers can continue from the summit down to the southern trailhead, which requires a .8 mile walk along the road to complete a 1.2 mile loop, or retrace the same path directly back to the northern lot.
Getting there
The Roost trailhead is along Route 113 (closed in winter), 2.8 miles south of Route 2 in Gilead, Maine. Hikers can park at the small gravel pull off by the trail sign, or at the larger Hastings trailhead .2 miles south of there where Route 113 meets Wild River Road.
1991–2020 averages from the nearest NOAA station, 10.3 mi away — not measured at the facility itself, and elevation can make a real difference over that distance.
