There is a small pond on the Old Glory Summit trail.
The main staging parking is at the north end of the Seven Summits trail. For a shorter ride park at the Old Glory TH.
The Old Glory Trail (6 miles/10 km) follows Unnecessary Ridge and leads to the summit, this final section is very difficult and you may want to tie the horses up just past the small pond and hike on foot. The two trails share a common trailhead on Hwy 3A east of Nancy Greene Provincial Park towards Rossland. The trail divides a short distance from the trailhead, with Plewman Trail to the right and Old Glory to the left. The shorter Plewman Trail (5 miles/8 km) is not suitable for horses. This area was used in times past by the Colville Indians from Washington state, who made regular trips here to pick huckleberries. Local place names such as Squaw Basin, Indian Flats, and Papoose Basin reflect this history. The former Forest Service lookout on Old Glory Mountain, the remains of a meteorological station, some stables, and the Old Glory Trail are remnants of the area's more recent history.

trailhead on Hwy 3A east of Nancy Greene Provincial Park towards Rossland. The highway makes a big bend as it leads past Hannah Creek. Watch for the pullout and trailhead on the west side of the highway, about 100 yards (91 m) south of Hannah Creek. The trail divides a short distance from the trailhead, with Plewman Trail to the right and Old Glory to the left.

This area is more appropriately named Rossland Range. Old Glory is just one of the trails. Seven Summits, Old Glory, Plewman and Dewdney are the main trails. Seven Summits and Dewdney are very popular mountain biking destinations, so be aware! Also, to ensure good mountain biker / equestrian relations, please kick horse manure off the trail. Nothing upsets a mountain biker more than having their sweet, flowy downhill interrupted by a fresh & steamy horse manure facial. These are challenging trails with 600m to 1000m elevation gain, bridges to cross (Plewman & Old Glory), and rocky, technical terrain.
