About the Business
Eagle Rock is a unique and captivating natural feature located along the Pacific Crest Trail near Warner Springs, California. The large granite rock pile resembles an eagle so closely that there is no doubt about its resemblance. The hike to Eagle Rock offers a chance to enjoy easy hiking through rolling grasslands, oak woodlands, and diverse wildflower displays in the spring. The trail provides stunning views of surrounding mountains and valleys, making it a satisfying afternoon adventure in the backcountry.
Starting from the fire station, hikers will follow the trail through woodlands, meadows, and chaparral-covered ridges before reaching the vantage point where Eagle Rock can be seen. A side trail leads directly to the rock formation, where visitors can marvel at its resemblance to an eagle and enjoy a picnic with panoramic views.
After exploring Eagle Rock, hikers can retrace their steps back to the trailhead or opt for a longer route that includes crossing Highway 79 and exploring Agua Caliente Creek/Canyon. The trail is well-maintained, but be aware of other trails that may cause confusion along the way.
Nearby camping options include Lake Henshaw and the Los Coyotes Indian Reservation. To reach the trailhead, drive east on Highway 78 to Santa Ysabel, then turn left onto Highway 79 and continue for 13.8 miles until reaching the Warner Springs Fire Station.

"Super awesome hike. Pretty easy and roughly 7 miles round trip. We got to see cows too!!"
"This is a nice hike with minimal elevation gains. However, it is a fairly long hike (about 6.5 miles). Eagle Rock is pretty spectacular though! There are two different trails that you can follow. The one that starts out by the Warner Springs fire house is the easier one. I heard the other trail is approximately 10 miles round trip. I've done this hike in the summer which is nice during late afternoon. The hike is also nice in the late fall because there is a creek that runs next to the first half which offers the nice relaxing sound of flowing water."
"Eagle Rock is an awesome large natural rock formation shaped like an Eagle or a hawk. It is located out in a vast open high elevation valley in Southern California. The hike on the trail from the parking area is also very nice and the views on a clear day are fantastic."
"We parked outside the community center and public mail box, and another commercial building across the street. Crossed the street nearby to the gate trailhead, open the key ring latch and the gate and relatched it behind us. After 3 miles hike upward elevation on well defined trail following the long stream on the left side, we reached a granite art structure exactly the shape of an eagle. Saw a coyote in the distance. Reached Eagle Rock at approx 7 pm just on time for the sunset. Behind the eagle is a straight cliff down so be careful there. Beautiful prairie and open grassland views all around and esp the breathtaking sunset view. A white rabbit hopped along the foot of eagle rock. Met a Pacific Coast Trail hiker done for her day whose final destination was Canada, hello Ratka!"
