Suicide Rock -- Idyllwild California
Suicide rock is another famous rock for rock climbers. The rock received its legendary name from a story of an
American Native Princess who threw herself off the rock with her lover rather than being separated as the Tribal
Chief had ordered.
Suicide rock has a few different ways to approach. The approach has a groomed trail and begins across from Fern
Valley Road. Walk down the hillside, you will cross Strawberry Creek then you will turn right on Forest Haven Road
(this is a paved road). Follow Forest Haven to the end where it becomes dirt. When it becomes dirt you will see
a trail on your left. It is on this trail where it gets a bit steeper. The trail will bring you to the base of
Suicide Rock. The trail brings you to the Buttress of Cracks, the Main Sunshine Face and Weeping Wall. |
