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.

About this trail's facts

The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
