Or is it another Rock Creek to which you refer?


Rock Creek is a drainage into Kern Canyon just SW of Whitney (one of the areas of SEKI where bear canisters are REQUIRED, BTW) accessible from Cotton Wood, Army, New Army etc. I haven't done it, but its Trip 81 in Sierra South . 6 days to Trail Camp (pretty modest daily mileage) . Looks like it could be done out and back in 6 days, but if I were doing it I'd shuttle between WP and HM and go one way.

If you really mean just from Rock Creek, as a side trip, then its an easy RT, but I am assuming you mean from the TH, by way of Rock Creek not just from Rock Creek.


Wherever you go, there you are.
