Description

Sweeping mountain views abound along Rock Mountain Trail, one of our longest hikes. Ideally picked up at The Saddle and climbed to its peak, this trek features great vantage points for beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

This trail has some smooth rock sections that require a bit of rock scrambling.

There is ongoing development construction occurring in 2023 to the northeast of the summit. This construction will prevent the Rock Mountain Trail from being completed as a loop for much of 2023. Please return to the Saddle from the summit. We will update this page when the loop hike is open again.
