Rubicon Trail for "first-timers" event 2008

Bring a good sense for unusual adventures.

From Georgetown to Lake Tahoe on the Rubicon Trail through a stunning section of the High Sierra. It's a 19th century stagecoach road. Today a county road lacking maintenance really bad. Almost impassable for a mountain bike - perfect for strong four wheel drive. This journey will take 4 days. Totaling 60 miles, the 12 more difficult miles will take 3 days to negotiate.

The Rubicon / McKinney road is considered to be one of the most treacherous roads in the USA. However, previous 4x4 driving skills are definitely not required for my events. The vehicles I provide are modified to perfection and professional guidance will guarantee a successful completion of the adventure for anyone. This might be a perfect opportunity to acquire solid 4x4 driving skills as well.

Four wheel drives are our transportation of choice. They carry us and plenty of gear & food safely to otherwise hard to reach breathtaking sceneries of nature. Sure, we could walk, run, ride on horseback or a mountain bike - but since the Rubicon is a county road we decided it is perfectly all right to use four wheel drives.

This trip is a wonderful adventure tour into the untouched wilderness of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Every night camping right next to crystal clear mountain lakes. Sleeping under an endless sky with millions of sparkling stars will make you dream forever. Group sizes are kept to a maximum of 6 to guarantee everyone gets my full attention. Larger group sizes (10) are possible upon request. Children are very welcome.
No age limit.
