Lower Rock Creek Canyon Trail

As Lower Rock Creek Canyon Trail is a popular route within Inyo National Forest, it can become rather busy at times. Those who are seeking a more secluded hiking experience may want to arrive at the trailhead early in the morning to avoid the larger crowds that sometimes develop midday or even skip the route altogether in favor of a less frequented one.

Having parked your vehicle, follow Lower Rock Creek Trail as it makes its way south alongside Lower Rock Creek. From here, the route is incredibly easy to follow. Simply follow the trail as it runs adjacent to Lower Rock Creek. The route is within a canyon, and after the canyon walls taper off and you arrive at some private property, all you need to do is backtrack your steps towards the trailhead.
