Rubicon Trail - Staging Area Closed June 21-25

News Alert: The Rubicon Trail will be closed for paving Monday June 21st through Friday June 25th!

The Tahoma staging area will be getting a long overdue asphalt paving as will the last section of access road. Repairs will also be done to the access road. At this time, no lines will be painted to control parking. It will be up to the users to determine how best to use the area. Painting might happen in the future.

The five days of closure is for the safety of the crews working and to speed up the process, as they won’t have to deal with vehicle traffic.

The paving is being done to reduce erosion and dust within the Lake Tahoe Basin.

There will be reroutes available through Blackwood Canyon. Although longer, it will give users a chance to see other routes in the area. (See map below) Coming out, the easy reroute is Forest Road 03-04 over to Barker Pass and then Forest Road 03 down to the lake. The more adventurous reroute would be the Hobbit Trail (16E76) to the Red Cabin Trail (16E79) and then take the Middle Fork Trail (15N38) down to the lake.

Wagon Train

Wagon Train Tradition Returns

The Highway 50 Association will be hosting the 72nd Annual Wagon Train from June 6– 12, to embrace our cultural heritage by bringing local history back to life. In 1949, the first modern day Wagon Train was formed to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the California "Gold Rush". The Wagon Train travels west from Lake Tahoe to Placerville along Highway 50, following the "Roaring Road" pathway that wagons traveled entering California. The tradition honors the struggle that people endured to seek out a better life for their families, and provides a modern way to experience how life was in El Dorado County when California became a state. 

Learn more about the 72nd Annual Wagon Train and view the Itinerary. 

Lake Tahoe Fun Facts

The water level of Lake Tahoe is at 6,225.08 feet, the lowest that the lake has been since early 2017. The lack of snow and precipitation this year means that the basin is going to be dry, and the lake is going to remain low. Along with the increase in beach space comes the dangers of wildfires. Get prepared and stay in the know by visiting tahoelivingwithfire.com.
