Know Before You Go
tips for getting Rubicon ready
Friends of the Rubicon (FOTR) is an informal coalition of groups and individuals dedicated to keeping the Rubicon Trail open and available to all recreationists.

We formed at the end of 2000 when a gate was proposed on the Tahoe side of the trail. Overnight, hundreds of folks were communicating via email about how to mitigate a winter/spring erosion problem with Placer County. FOTR formed instantly.

FOTR is now the strongest single-trail oriented coalition in the country. We are proactive in keeping the Rubicon Trail alive and well (and accessible to all).

We are working with Placer County, El Dorado County, the USFS, private businesses, many organized recreation groups, and other land management agencies to ensure our famed Rubicon Trail remains as one of our crown jewels of motorized and mechanized recreation.


The FOTR list is run by Del Albright and Scott Johnston. You can join our effort simply by emailing us, to get on the FOTR email list and by reading these web pages. Before you sign up for FOTR, drop us an email and let me know about your rig, clubs and affiliations. If you're ready to join, click here:Join FOTR


We are not an organization that collects dues or has bylaws, etc. We are all partners working towards the same goal: to keep the Rubicon open and useable, while mitigating the erosion and water runoff problems from portions of the road.

We are also about responsible use of the trail. We don't advocate building new bypasses or using shortcuts around the established trail and existing bypasses. We advocate obeying the rules and the law, as well as trail ethics.

We now sit at the table as an official permanent member of the Rubicon Oversight Committee (ROC) that will guide the future of the Rubicon Trail. With the ROC, FOTR is working on a long term, strategic Master Plan for the Rubicon Trail.
