Trail Overview

4-2 is a moderate dirt bike trail in the Rock Creek Trail System. The southern end starts out as a shaded wide path climbing up from the south entrance, in between scraggly manzanita trees. Watch for root bands across the trail, small loose rocks, dips, bumps, and a bit of embedded rock. The trail weaves tightly through the trees, and has a couple steeper climbs that are full of loose rock that make the trail a bit more technical. There are big loose bowling ball sized rocks filling in the ruts, with natural stair steps a foot high or so from the embedded rocks and roots and troughs. It intersects with Trail 4-3 about halfway through, turning into a wider road-width segment, then narrowing up again in the trees after the intersection, and continuing to curve tightly through the manzanita bushes. The trail gets narrower and slightly harder in the northern half, with a few more rocky climbs and descents, big embedded boulders, and piles of loose rock. The last section before the north entrance is the narrowest, with really tight corners through the trees.

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 turnaround. 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.
