Eldorado National Forest Guide

Eldorado National Forest Highlights

  • The Rubicon Off-Highway Vehicle Trail is the undisputed king of all 4x4 routes in the western United States. It leads 15 miles from Loon Lake to Lake Tahoe, although some drivers start 10 miles farther west at Georgetown. The trail is famous for its narrow passages, steep granite slabs, and big boulders.
  • While passenger cars and bicyclists ascend the paved Barker Pass Road to Barker Pass, four-wheelers follow a parallel route along the Middle Fork of Blackwood Canyon. The 4x4 route tops out near the base of Barker Peak. Views of Barker Meadows, Devil Peak, Ellis Peak, and Lake Tahoe are sublime.
