Rubithon is a destination camping type event. Point A to B. With the level of traffic and recent trail restrictions camping between point A and B isn't what it used to be.

How does the event play out, ?
Well, there are 2 starting points for formal runs. One at Loon Lake and this year one at Wentworth. You leave these areas on your selected run traveling the trail, literally single file until you reach Rubicon Springs or a preselected layover spot. The springs is the area that all event functions occur at and where camping is. It is a significant haul to get a group into the springs and can be tough. You will camp there 2, 3 or 4 maybe more days depending on when you come in. The trail is run in one direction by most out of courtesy for the event. There are many camping areas at the springs, rock slabs by river, forested campsites, riverside spots, etc. TLCA has all the Med support, Camp permit, Trail guidance stuff in effect. Camping at springs is on private property and the event reg. includes your permit to camp at springs. Leaving = exit runs Sunday morning in an orderly, organized fashion. Sign up for Ice run on friday if you do not have an arb fridge or make the trek out to Tahoma yourself. This event goes off at a nice easy pace. You can leave a tow rig at the trail exit and drive the 1.25 hr loop to the loon lake start or drive the loop in your rig after and pick up tow rig. Big Hint-- if driving around leave your trailers at Ice House resort so when you come back around on Sunday you do not have to go all the way back up icehouse rd. to the loon lake start.
