“The Rubicon Trail historically runs from Georgetown, CA to Tahoma,
CA at Lake Tahoe. It started as an Indian trade route, became
a stagecoach route and is currently one of the premier 4-wheel
drive trails in the country. The first vehicle to drive the trail was
1908. Jeeps started regular use of the trail in the ‘50’s soon after
WW II.” quoted from the RTF’s “What is the Rubicon Trail”. In my words, it’s adventure at its purest form.
I have seen hikers, bikers, and almost every imaginable off road vehicle on the Rubicon Trail since 1998 and the G Crew looks forward to seeing your scaler “doin’ work” at the Cantina for the Con fundraiser.
Come get your scale adventure fix, in the Axial Taquitos Grandito RECON G6!
