Rosebud #423 the Forest Service's write-up
season May to October
The Rosebud Trail #423 begins at the end of Forest Service Road 744.2C, Deadman Road, and ends at an intersection with the Cement Mountain Trail #553. The Trail follows Rosebud Creek through a wide Rosebud Gulch for its entire length. There are stunning views of Cement Mountain from the trail. This trail is a great connector that creates new loops when combined with trails in the Cement Creek and Spring Creek drainages.

The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
