| A steep drive up into the north end of Antelope Creek then a difficult ridge walk with some scrambling and a fair amount of bushwhacking. I was able to drive my suzuki sidekick with average clearance and 4 wheel drive to an elevation of 6000 feet on the ridge. | |

| somiaj | Santa Rosa Attempt Date Climbed: Jun 19, 2011 | |
| The approach was from Big Cottonwood Creek outside of Paradise Valley. After camping along the creek the night before we drove up the creek and ran into a locked gate for the private property up the canyon. We back tracked a little bit and parked right as the jeep trail that splits off the road heads up Dry Creek. From here our plan was to climb up dry creek to the 9153 point, and then follow the ridge over to Santa Rosa Peak and back down. After a few hours of climbing we made it the top of the 9153 peak, but by that time a storm had blown in, the ridge line was extremely windy and it was just starting to rain. Not wanting to fight the wind and snow on the ridge line for hours we headed back down from this smaller point. So never got to the top of Santa Rosa Peak, but had a great view from the 9153 point south of the peak. Photos can be found at http://zensites.net/pic/album.php?id=73 | |

| bradb | Rebel Creek Route Date Climbed: Jun 12, 2008 | |
| Tough Climb up Rebel Creek. For approach to canyon entrance take North Rebel Creek Rd. You need to get permission from the owners of the Rebel Creek ranch, (they lease the access rights for the road from the forest service). My 2wd car made it fine to the fenceline about .25miles from the canyon. Trail is overgrown and hard to follow.(I missed the turn and had to bushwack over an adjacent ridge). Plan on a steep, rocky class II or easy class III for the last mile to the summit. | ||

| We parked down low- with only 2-wheel, the road is a little bit too challenging. Plus, it was a beautiful walk anyway. Some snow up high- solid on the climb, postholing on the way down. Very pristine and empty valley. Basin and range views can't be beat. | |

| This is a good access point to climb the mountain early in the year. There isn't much of a trail; but route finding is straightfoward. You start out in a narrow canyon and after a couple miles there is a great view of the SW slopes of the peak. I climbed the south ridge to the summit, great view to paradise valley and south to other peaks in the range. I have hiked up Rebel creek to the basin and this is a more scenic way to approach the mountain. The aspen grove turns gold in the fall and with the peak in the background its very nice. I would like to come back to this range and climb Granite or Paradise peak. | ||

| I think this was the last time I climbed Santa Rosa Peak. This was from Mullinex Creek which is the fastest way (and maybe the most fun) to the Summit in the summer. I have climbed this mountain many times on all aspects in every season. I look forward to many more days here. | |
