Creekside Towers Trail Introduction

Creekside Towers Trail begins at the Bath Rock parking area. The trail’s gentle grade (122 feet relative elevation) is suitable for families with children. Outstanding scenery, sculpted granite pinnacles, and a diversity of plants and animals await on this 1.2 mile out-and-back walk. In spring and early summer, visitors may encounter a small cascading waterfall. Keep a look out for secret windows, arches, and tafoni (honeycomb) weathering as well.

Orientation signs and maps are strategically located at trail intersections to help you find the route. If you become disoriented, remember that walking uphill will bring you to City of Rocks Road and back to the trailhead. Trail use is restricted to foot-traffic only, no bicycles or horses are allowed. Pets must be leashed at all times. Small children should be attended along the trail as some areas lead to cliffs. Hikers may encounter climbers along Creekside Towers. Provide a safe distance between you and climbing ropes and equipment. Help rangers protect resources by staying on the trail in high-use areas.
