Rock Creek

Rock Creek Road is an easy single-lane sand and dirt road from Highway 21 to Lowman, where limited services and supplies are available. Rock Creek is a shelf road for almost its entire length, is primarily one lane wide with limited pullouts, and is highly snaky. It is an easy road to drive and can be driven in any vehicle, although moderate ground clearance and good tires are recommended. Most of the area around Rock Creek has burned in the last decade or two, leaving numerous dead-standing trees that can fall across the road. The primary hazards are blind curves and the road's narrowness—with little to no room to swerve out of the way of road hazards or oncoming traffic.

Much of the road is open on the downhill side, providing expansive views of the valleys and distant ridges. During the summer, smoke from area wildfires often limits the view. Because Rock Creek is a shelf road, camping options are limited. There are a few wide places in the road, particularly on inside switchbacks, where a quick, small camp could be set up, but there are no great camping areas.
