Guides are not mandatory, but to be Rubicon friendly, it is suggested. Friends of the Rubicon, a non-profit org., asks that you go with someone who knows the trail the first few times you go.
You can get very lost up there. It is not just one trail. Many offshoots and places to get off the path. They have Sherriffs and Rangers walking the trail, and they write tickets, expensive ones, if they catch you off the trail.
We did not hire them. They are members of the Rock n Roll 4x4 club (Cranky Steve is too). Scott is a member of the "Rubicon Trail Patrol".
I simply just asked if someone would be willing to take us out on the trail, and immediately got three volunteers.
