Crown Jewel of All Off-Highway Trails

The Rubicon Trail is a 22-mile off-road adventure that cuts across the Sierra Nevada, between the gold rush town of Georgetown and the pristine Lake Tahoe. It boasts stunning, panoramic views of the Sierra Nevada, fields of boulders and interlocking flat stone, and sweet-smelling pine and fir trees.

Off-Road Experience of a Lifetime

This is an off-road experience of a lifetime that will test your mental and physical limits as well as your technical skills and preparation.  It offers the courageous motorist a chance to travel a historical path through one of the nation’s most treasured natural landscapes. It is widely recognized as the premier OHV route in the United States and has been called the “crown jewel of all off-highway trails.” At one time, it was revered as the most difficult, rated 10 on a scale of one to 10, due to its narrow passages, rocky climbs, and occasional mud hole.
