South Fork Trail

The trail follows the contours of the mountain for the first 1.2 miles with scenic views of the south fork of the Rubicon Canyon and the Crystal Range to the east. The trail then descends down into the Rubicon River drainage at an average gradient of 30 percent, terminating at the junction of the Rubicon River and the south fork of the Rubicon drainage where beautiful swimming and fishing holes abound. The trail is very steep and dry with a lot of switchbacks. Bring a large quantity of drinking water. The trail is open to hikers, equestrians and mountain biking.
