Rock Creek, located on the west side of Highway 395 at Rock Creek Road, is a beautiful Eastern Sierra backcountry canyon in the John Muir Wilderness.

Rock Creek Canyon is famous for Little Lakes Basin, where a string of high-elevation lakes are linked by leisurely hiking trails surrounded by 13,000 foot peaks. Dogs are ok on a leash.

In winter, the Rock Creek Sno-Park is operated by California State Parks and White Mountain Ranger District.

The SNO-PARK program provides winter recreation at locations along the Sierra Nevada. Distinctive brown highway signs located along highways identify the SNO-PARKs. 

Each SNO-PARK provides visitors access to snow-cleared parking lots and sanitation facilities. Snow conditions determine accessibility and opportunities available at each site.

• Please pick up after your dog

It’s also very popular, and for the best of reasons. more »
