Trip Logistics
The Rubicon Trail is not the place to be
when you remember you forgot a very import item. This
section of the guide has been developed to help you plan for and
carry the important things you will need on the trail. |
 |
Trail Etiquette and Safety
When driving the Rubicon Trail, special
"rules of the road" should be followed. You will
be driving one of the most magnificent areas of California.
You are expected to leave only footprints or tire tracks.
You will also be using a trail that in some places isn't even wide
enough for your vehicle, let alone two vehicles. |

Forest Service Rules and
Regulations
Most of the Rubicon Trail crosses land
managed or protected by the USDA Forest Service. In an
effort to preserve and protect the lands under their jurisdiction
they have established rules for those who use the land. |

General (Forest Service) Maps of
the Trail
In this section of the guide you will find a
series of maps that cover the full length of the Rubicon Trail,
from Georgetown to Lake Tahoe. |

Detailed annotated color topographic maps
from USGS 7 1/2' quadrangle topographic maps, aerial photos
(some in 3D), color pictures (again some in 3D) and detailed
information describing over 40 sites along the way. |
