Notes

Rock Creek Trail is the lonesome and challenging route to Snow Lake. Start at the trail junction at milepost 8.5 on Middle Fork Trail 1003. Switchback up through mature second-growth forest that was railroad logged in the 1930s and enter untouched forest near the Alpine Lakes Wilderness boundary. Below Snow Lake the forest opens to avalanche slopes that are often brushy, making it difficult to see the tread at times. The trail becomes rocky, the brush thick and the sidehills very steep. A waterfall along Rock Creek drains into Snow Lake and enjoy views of Mt. Garfield. The trail ends at a junction with Snow Lake Trail 1013 and High Lakes Trail 1012. Snow Lake is a short walk in either direction from the junction.
