Rock Creek runs adjacent to the west side of Highway 115 and the front range of the Rocky mountains south of Colorado Springs in the southwestern corner of El Paso County. The area extends south to the Pueblo County line. Rock Creek features are Ft Carson's extensive training areas on the east side of Highway 115 and the mountainous terrain on the west side both serving to make this a north-south corridor to the Florence/Canon City area to the south.

Most commonly characterized by slightly drier weather giving the area a more "southwestern" feel. The rolling foothills leading to the mountains are covered with scrub oak and are frequented by outcroppings of red rock.
