Trail Overview

The north end of Trail 6-1 starts from an intersection with Trail 1, and goes through a tree corridor of curving Big Manzanita trees, on dry dusty dirt, with lots of loose rock. It curves through the trees, with some root bands across the trail creating small drop-offs. There are a couple of moderate rock features along the route, including some big embedded boulders with cracks down the middle that you have to either ride through the crack or take the high line. There are only a few other spots with embedded rock, but it is mostly fast and flowy on smooth dirt, with a few steeper climbing or descending spots. The southern half of the trail gets pretty wide through the trees before dropping down to Forest Service Road 12E50.

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.
