Rock Creek Trailhead

This Trailhead serves as an access point for the Teepee Creek Trail No. 1173 and the Rock Creek Trail No. 1000.

The 4.4 mile Teepee Creek trail crosses Rock Creek and begins climbing before meeting with the Rock Creek Trail No. 1000. Trail No. 1173 then continues up Teepee Creek and crosses Forest Road 263 before terminating at the Teepee Creek Trailhead

Trail No. 1000 is a mix of old logging roads and remote single track along High Rock Creek. This trail connects with Forest Road 263 to create the Rock Creek Loop.

When combined with forest roads these trails form multiple loops for mountain bikers. See bike trail map for more information.

Parking is limited at this location. Additional parking and a restroom can be found nearby at Rock Creek Recreation Area.
