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.
