    I'm dying to see this place. Looks like the toughest/most beautiful terrain I've seen. We're looking to do another cold weather camping trip this Friday so I suggested the Rubicon.

    I have been all around this area since December and it's of course packed in snow/ice above 6000ft. It's been 80deg down here at 1200ft so I was wondering if it's too early to attempt to even hit the base of the trail at Loon Lake? It's 91mi or 3hrs from my place. When will the trail be passable?

    Anyone up for a camping trip/trail ride on 29 Mar?

    Not scared of a lil snow!

    If I remember right they were still cutting through 4' drifts in June last year. Pretty sure...
