South Fork Trail
(30 miles from G.T.)
different options, all steep
This trail basically follows the South
Fork of the Rubicon River all the way to Crystal Basin Rd. F.S. 13N28.
and the South Fork C.G
More importantly it gains access to the
Old Rubicon Trail on the other side of the river from Hunter’s
Trail.
Directions;
The trail leaves the main trail about 2
miles in from Ellicott’s bridge at a pretty obvious intersection that
diverges downhill from the main trail. The trail goes down to a fairly
popular campsite on the river’s edge near a deep pool. With caution and
low river flow, you can cross the river upstream on rocks and find the
trail climbing up and away from the river on the north side of the South
Fork.
The trail
climbs steeply up for about ½ mile to
intersect the Old Rubicon Trail going L, and the South Fork Trail
going R. From here you can take South Fork trail 4 miles to Ice House
Road, or take Old Rubicon Trail north for 7-8 miles to Parsley
Bar.
