Trail Overview

This is a short connector trail between Trail 10 and Trail 4. It's a wide path between low manzanita tree branches, like a tree tunnel. The surface is lightly covered in small loose rocks and pinecones, a bit troughed and rutted at times, and you need to watch out for small sticks and roots. It has tight turns through the trees and a couple of big hairpin corners. It's a steady descent from north to south the entire way, dropping 850 feet of elevation over 1.1 miles. It's mostly a semi-steep grade, but it stays really wide and approachable the entire way, making it still relatively easy and ideal for riders of most average skill levels.

Access Description

The Rock Creek Trail System is located in the Eldorado National Forest near the town of Georgetown, California. Take Wentworth Springs Road east from the town of Georgetown, and follow the signs for either the Mace Mill Staging Area or the Bald Mountain Staging Area. Both are small and primitive staging areas with space for several vehicles to park and a small trailer turn around. The third staging area, 5 Corners, is also small and primitive, located by either taking Rock Creek Road or FS 12N72 south of Wentworth Springs Road. The trails are open year-round, but close often during wet conditions, so it is advised to call the Georgetown Ranger District for the status of the trail system: (530) 334-6477. The trails are well-marked and highly maintained, ranging from easy to advanced.
