Trail Information
The Rubicon Trail is a 22-mile off-road trail that runs through the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. The trail is renowned for its challenging terrain and attracts off-road enthusiasts from around the world. It's really the super bowl of off-road challenges.
To complete this trail, you need a vehicle with large tires, good ground clearance, low-range gearing, plenty of underbody protection, and adequate recovery gear. You'll commonly see Jeep Wranglers, Toyota 4Runners/Tacomas, or other similar vehicles that are heavily modified. Be prepared to carry enough supplies for the entire trip since there are no stores or amenities along the trail.
This is far from a beginner trail, and we recommend doing a significant amount of research and planning (videos/reviews/etc) before attempting it. A great place to start that process is with the good folks at TrailRecon. Go along with Brad as he tackles the Rubicon in the video below.
