Camel Rock Hike

A single-track trail with several steep portions, the first at the start which soon becomes a gentle grade. After viewing Camel Rock, we will cross the North Gate paved road and return to our cars via Burma Road and Little Pine Creek Road. We'll be passing through open areas with beautiful grasses and fine displays of wildflowers as well as chaparral and oak savannah. Be sure to bring plenty of water and a snack, and dress in layers. Sturdy shoes or hiking boots are recommended. Heavy rain cancels.

***There will be a $10 park entrance fee, exact cash is required.

Directions: Ygnacio Valley Road to Walnut Ave. Follow signs to the North Gate Entrance. Camel Rock trailhead is located on North Gate Road—a little over a mile beyond the entrance kiosk—at the Park boundary marked appropriately with a prominent brown signboard. A wide pull-off at the side of the road provides for adequate parking. To find the trail, cross the road and look for a narrow path climbing steeply to the right. It is clearly posted as the “Camel Rock Trail.”
