Description

Eagle Rock is the primary attraction of this hike. It juts impressively out from the hillside, with dramatic shear cliffs on three sides. There is easy access to the top of Eagle Rock from the trail for anyone with a good pair of hiking boots. Another interesting spot is Cathedral Rock, a short quarter mile diversion from the main loop. You can stop for lunch here, sitting on the grass, with walls all about you.

Some guide books refer to this hike as "Eagle Rock" rather than Eagle Springs. Note that when I took this hike, I did not travel on the Musch trail as suggested by several guide books, but took the more direct fire road to Eagle Rock.
