Rocky Creek Trail This trail connects Arroyo Seco Camp with Rocky Ridge Camp. First, it leads along a ridge and offers great views down at the Arroyo Seco River. Then it curves into Rocky Creek Canyon. From here on, you will get your feet wet. The trail crosses Rocky Creek a couple of times. Some guide books say six times, others say nine times. I don't know which one is right because I turned around after the fifth crossing. The path is sometimes hard to find and after about three miles, I couldn't find it anymore. |

Indians Road is a dirt road, connecting Arroyo Seco Camp with Indians Station and Santa Lucia Memorial Park Camp in the south of the Ventana Wilderness. The road is open only for a couple of months in summer and even then you should think carefully before using it.

Horse Bridge About three miles south of Arroyo Seco Camp is the trailhead to Marble Peak Trail. Hiking the whole trail would take a while, but getting down into the canyon to cross the river at Horse Bridge only takes a couple of minutes and is absolutely worth it. |
