Trail Overview
Rock Spring is a shorter out-and-back trail that pushes from the foothills to just inside the dense treeline of the forest with an elevation increase right at 700 feet. The trail is generally single-vehicle-wide with room to pass if needed and should be easily completed by most high-clearance 2WD and AWD vehicles. While there are no large obstacles, drivers should be aware of the deeper rutted and off-camber sections, low-lying washes, and loose rock surfaces. There are multiple spurs off the main track that run to the north and the south that give more areas to explore. Cell service is weak for the majority of the trail. The motorized trail ends at a small rustic cabin, but there is an unmarked hiking trail at the end that appears to run towards one of several natural springs in the area.

Difficulty
Rock Spring does not have any larger obstacles, but drivers should be aware of the possible shallow water crossings through the small washes. There are also some areas of soft dirt, minor rutting, and spots where the surface is loose rocks.
