Rock Creek Road (21 Switchbacks)
Route 6M40 western Rock Creek approach, approximate mapped reference, Feather River Canyon, CA
About this trail
Rock Creek Road is the western, 21-switchback approach on Forest Service Route 6M40 above the Feather River Canyon. It connects toward the separate Tobin-side approach known as Twenty Nine Switchbacks Road. Expect steep, narrow turns and uneven surfaces; the old stock-SUV description is not a promise that every vehicle can pass. Stay on the designated motor route, respect nearby private land and keep vehicles off the Pacific Crest Trail. Check current forest alerts, gates and road conditions before visiting. The pin marks a point on the western approach. The original creek photo is historical.

Before you go
- Check current access and vehicle rules with the operator before traveling.
- Follow numbered Route 6M40 on the current motor-vehicle map; this guide covers the western Rock Creek approach, not the separate eastern Tobin approach
- Use a vehicle and recovery plan suited to steep, narrow turns, loose surfaces and rocks; turn back when conditions exceed your ability
- Stay on the designated route, respect gates and private land, and do not drive on the Pacific Crest Trail or unmarked shortcuts
- Check current Plumas National Forest alerts, weather and gates before traveling; a yearlong motor designation does not guarantee road conditions or override a closure
