Rubicon trail July 11th and 12th - Completed

[Apparition]

Looking at my schedule I believe I have these days set aside to run the Rubicon.

It will be three of us including my 7 year old daughter so I'm gearing the trip towards her enjoyment.

Anybody want to join?

Is the Loon Lake end the end to start it?

Do I need any passes or anything to run it?

Is there a decent place to leave the truck and trailer?

Any good books or guides I should procure?

I also am looking for any advice such as a good motel nearby to stay the night before.

Also, to those who have run it a few times and/or recently: What would the minimum vehicle requirements be?

Most important is to check the events calendar before making plans.

Thanks for this, I hadn't found that site when searching. It looks like I should be good on the days I picked assuming the AJC is running it the same direction I am.

All the larger events are run from loon lake to Tahoma. You’re good.

Be awesome to run it with you Nick.

Another question, should I plan 2 or three days?

Wow 4 days, are you planning on staying in the springs for 2 nights ?

It can be done in 2 long days

I’m seeing people stay a night at Loon Lake, and a night on the trail. But you could probably add another night.

Ps- I changed my username

Those would include our travel days from San Diego, and the group wanted to do some fly fishing along the way.

By unfortunate coincidence, my wife is vacationing at Lake Tahoe the weekend of July 11/12. I will need to stay home and take care of our dog - he’s an old man and doesn’t travel well

It’s all good thanks for trying. She’s so close too.

I'm re-evaluating my plan for a rear LSD in favor of a selectable locker.
