Join the Rock Church Hiking Ministry family as we journey to Warner Springs for a 6.5-mile round trip hike on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) to the Eagle Rock formation. The rock formation is truly amazing as we enjoy the beauty of God’s creation!
To reach our destination, we will be driving 1.25 hours to Warner Springs to reach the junction of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and SR-79. We will travel south on the PCT until we reach our destination at Eagle Rock. The 6.5-mile round-trip hike is moderate, starting with a shady trail with a creek view, eventually opening up to an open field with no shade. The rock formation is truly incredible!
More info on the hike can be found here.
Meet at the trailhead at 9 a.m. Hike starts at 9:15 a.m. sharp.
The trailhead is next to the CALFIRE Station. There is street parking and a small dirt parking lot next to the trailhead.
Note: This is a moderate-level hike, but please be honest and self-evaluate your physical ability before attempting this hike. It could be challenging for those who are heat-sensitive. We may also encounter equestrians and cattle. There are no facilities at the trailhead or on the trail.
We can stop for lunch on our way back.
