That's another option, we park our tow rigs there when we go to Coyota lake it just puts you farther from the trail head.Tamarack Sno-Park has a parking lot I will probably park the tow rig at and then drive in from there.
Ha ha Everybody Has there opinion, me included. I feel the Dusy is the easiest although the longest and further from help and no bypasses and less traffic.I would not run this trail later than mid to late September. Early August, when it opens is best. I have been snowed on in August, and seen temps in the low 20s then too. Minimum of 3 days, and thats if everything goes well...which never happens on Dusy. I also wouldn't do a group larger than 6-7 trucks. There should be at least 2 of every vehicle type to help with spare parts. Someone should have an on board welder too. It was used every time we ran it. If you haven't done the Rubicon or Fordyce first..you shouldn't start with Dusy. Run it south to north, starting at Courtright. The other direction is harder. Marmot rock campground is a good meeting point and worth a day just to hang out there. If you have a rack or RTT, I'd recommend you take it off
With that said, it's absolutely my favorite trail and I will probably try to run it this year.

Fordyce by far the hardest if you don't take the bypasses, but not far from help and cell service on the hole trail. Rubicon right in the middle with almost a guarantee some will be by if you have a issue and are stuck on the trail.
We ran the Dusy a few years back at breakneck speed 2 days 1 night because of the wild fires that started the first day we were on the trail. 5 80 series zero issues besides the fire.
You can bad weather/ snow just about anytime in the Sierras and should plan accordingly
start the trail on the 28th, giving us 4 days on the trail, coming out on Sunday.
I will drive down on the 27th, drop the tow rig and then drive to the start of the trail.
What Rubithon Group ?Hey it's Carey from the Rubithon group.
I have a group of 5-7 friends from Central Oregon planning a Dusy trip around the same time, good reminder to get a date on the calendar.
What Rubithon Group ?
Aww. I lead the Wagon Run.Breakfast Run. White 80 series
Might try to go on one of the earlier runs this year. My daughter is pushing for an extra night or two of camping.Aww. I lead the Wagon Run.
Nothing ventured nothing gainedI think everyone realizes that there is snow . What no one knows is what will happen weather wise between now and then so ,To plan a trip will not hurt . If it can not happen it will not happen
And let’s not forget this is in CA where global warming is at a all time high . I am going to pack my sunscreenNothing ventured nothing gained
I say keep planning
It’s a very good idea the trail is at or above 8000 feet.And let’s not forget this is in CA where global warming is at a all time high . I am going to pack my sunscreen
Yes drive for hours to the trail head and find ….I think everyone realizes that there is snow . What no one knows is what will happen weather wise between now and then so ,To plan a trip will not hurt . If it can not happen it will not happen
If ur rig is Cali registered and not a trail rig only, ok. If not then watch out for CHP between the sno park and white bark vista… also Sheriff and Wardens … I’d recommend either Courtwright entrance or White Bark…Tamarack Sno-Park has a parking lot I will probably park the tow rig at and then drive in from there.
