Rock House Trailhead

Current Conditions

Rock House Trail is intermittently open. Crews are replacing multiple culverts along the trail and resurfacing its entire length to restore and improve visitor accessibility.

This 0.75-mile trail provides hikers with a great view of rock overhangs and follows a cliff face. Reflect on the power of erosion and the geologic wonder of the natural rock houses. Benches, interpretive signage and a boardwalk are all part of your trail experience on the Rock House Trail. This is one of the recommended wildflower viewing areas on the Forest.
