Also known as the McKinney-Rubicon Springs
Road, The Rubicon Trail is located in the California High Sierra
due west of Lake Tahoe & appx 80 miles east of Sacramento.
Rated 10 as being "most difficult" on a scale of 1-10
& known as the "Granddaddy of all off highway trails"
it is appx. 12 miles of incredibly scenic albeit ROCKY un-maintained
El Dorado and Placer county road.
The ceremonial "Trailhead" is at
Georgetown, which is a tiny hamlet nestled on the western slope
of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California's Gold Country .
West of Tahoe, East of Sacramento, North of Yosemite National
Park and south of I-80 and Donner Pass.
Ask ANYONE in Georgetown and they'll tell
you how to get to the "actual" trailhead which is several
miles east of town adjacent to Loon Lake.
Georgetown is synonymous with the Rubicon
Trail. The town is built around servicing and supplying Rubicon
adventurers and their rigs.

resource links from the green navigation buttons on the left.
