What to expect

The Rubicon Trail is a 22-mile-long route, part road and part 4x4 trail, located in the Sierra Nevada of the western United States. The trail is a non-maintained County road that leads from Georgetown to Lake Tahoe, passing through the Eldorado National Forest and portions of private lands. The trail features various obstacles, including rocky climbs, narrow passages, and mud holes, making it a challenging and exciting experience for off-road enthusiasts. The trail is recommended for short wheelbase vehicles with all skid plates in place and is suitable for street-legal and 'green sticker' off-road motor vehicles. The trail is also used as an access route by hikers, backpackers, and fishers, and offers scenic views of the surrounding landscape
