All this talk about the Honda Rubicon, but what is the Rubicon Trail itself like? I am headed to Lake Tahoe this summer and figured gee.. while I'm there... sure would be fun!! The only thing on the web is about jeeps. They take 3 days. I know they go slow.
How long does it take on a Sportsman? We would probably go with a friend who has a nice TJ Jeep,
so he could carry our camping gear-and we could wait for him, like we do everytime we go out with a big rig. We ride 50-60 miles a day on rough mountain trails. (Here in New Mexico they just CLOSED our National Forest, something about a fire, go figure) Anyway, I sure would appreciate some info on the Rubicon trail from someone who's
done it on their 4-wheeler. How about those ATV trailers for hauling camping gear? How far is it?
My Sportsman will go about 85 miles on a tank of gas. Thanks for the info...Silly Later, Fourlix

I was wondering Where Honda came up with the Rubicon name. Someone told me Rubicon is a river in northern Italy which would make no sense at all but some wild trail called Rubicon make sense thanks for clearing that up.

 

What- Honda and jeep have some kind of monopoly
on this trail? Silly Later, Fourlix

Try this place for information the Rubicon trail. http://www.off-road.com/4x4web/travels/rubicon.html I remember about 40 years ago fishing in the Rubicon River at a place called Hell Hole. The trip in was really rough, even for a nine year old, but the fishing was great.

 

Do an internet search using google.com and type in Rubicon trail. It has a lot of different sites for info.

 

Hi Ray, Fourlix here, or Alex actually, Hey I went to UW in Laramie, class of '76. Small world eh? We ride in the Burros east of Silver mostly.
It is a small mountain range riddled with mines and trails and is mostly National Forest. Great place to ride. My e-mail address is alex@gilanet.com drop me an e when you are coming down and we'll go for a ride.
