Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

The Rubicon trail runs from Emerald Bay Park to DL Bliss State Park. DL Biss is currently closed (July 2024), so the only way to get to the trail is from Emerald Bay.
The best way to access the trail is by parking at Vikingsholm parking lot and then taking the 1 mile trail down to the water level (near the Emerald Bay Visitor Center) and starting the trail right by the Vikingsholm building. From there you can take the Rubicon trail out of the bay towards the open water and back.
Parking does fill up here- so you'll want to try to come early in the morning. It's $10 for a day pass to park. The hike back up to the lot is fairly steep so there are signs warning folks to not go down if they are not confident they can't make it back up.
The Vikingsholm parking lot is also where the Emerald Bay Overlook is- which is a great view!
There are not flush toilets in this park- only vault toilets- but they aren't bad. Just bring hand sanitizer with you. (There are porter-potties at the parking lot. )
From this area you can also access lower Eagle Falls - which is more impressive than Upper Eagle Falls. Lower Eagle Falls is a short (20 min out and back) hike- but it is uphill.

Sought out a lot of local advice on the best hikes to maximise our short trip here. Rubicon came up on most people’s recommendations of ‘must do’ hikes.
We started at Vikingsholm, which involves a steep switchback trail down from the car park. Views over the lake and small island are breathtaking.
The first few miles, takes you along the shoreline, through campsites and some of the most stunning scenery in Tahoe. The final third is pretty much featureless woodland, further in-land. We hiked for around 5 hours, out and back and didn’t see another soul. Really enjoyed it but not the ‘must do’ everyone said. Ready yourself for the long climb back up to the car park.

The Rubicon Trail is one of the best long trails in the Lake Tahoe area. The hike could start from Eagle Point in Emerald Bay State Park and go all the way to Calawee Cove in the north over a distance of about 7 miles (oneway). The trail wraps around the Emerald Bay and provides gorgeous views of Lake Tahoe the whole way. There are several intermediate access points to get on the trail. Water is available at campgrounds along the trail, though it is insurance to carry water, especially on hot days. The trail is very well maintained and easy to follow. At the north end there is an alternate trail that goes by the old lighthouse; be aware that this section is a pretty steep climb.
Even just a small part of the Rubicon Trail should be on the 'must do list' for any nature lover. It is an awesome trail with breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe.

Did a lot of trails around Tahoe and liked the views on this one best. Even if you only do a little starting at Bliss Park (it is a long trail) you won't be disappointed.

This was not worth trying to find a parking spot by any means. I recommend going to Sand Harbor instead.

This is one of my favorite hikes of my recent vacation to Tahoe. We had tried to go a previous day but DL Bliss gets full by 9 am AT THE LATEST. They do not let in cars as others exit, too hard to control so we were told by the ranger they allow entry again at 3:30 or so. We felt the afternoons too hot to begin a hike that late so returned on a Thursday at 8:05 am and drove right in. I will tell you the parking is very limited. There are 10 maybe spots at the juncture of the Rubicon and Lighthouse trailsheads, HOWEVER, you wouldn’t know that unless you parked and got out of the car and walked to the signs. We bypassed this spot as it’s not clearly marked as trail parking. Plus there are NO pit toilets here.
We continued all the way down to the end and begin hiking from Calawee Cove. The views and beach area from the parking lot are stunning! The bathrooms were locked when we were there but port-John’s are present. Again very limited parking here and we got the very last spot of maybe 10 that are here.
We hoped to make it to Boat Camp but after 2 hours we turned around. I don’t regret it because the water is so gorgeous and up too this point we walked beside the water. Once it became clear we were going to be hiking more interior we turned back and hiked to the Lighthouse on the return. Since I have bad knees I did not go down to the lighthouse but you can see it from the trail. It’s not in operation.
The hike is up and down, canopied and open sun. Not too bad for climbing over huge boulders but definitely a hike that requires you to look down and watch your step over roots, rocks and narrower passages. If you park on the road and hike back just be aware the trailhead is very deep into the park.
I highly recommend this hike. Take a hat and plenty of water and enjoy the views!

We dropped the younger members of the family at D.L Bliss State Park. They hiked from there to the beach at the head of Emerald Bay (3.5 miles) , called Vikingsgold. My husband and I, who are over 50, drove back around to the other end of the trail at Emerald Bay Park, and made the 1.6 mile hike to the same beach and met the "kids." The trail was gorgeous in both directions - the shorter trail on the East is slow and sloping. This beach is worth a visit, because of its beauty and seclusion.

Beautiful hike along the coast of lake tahoe. There are some parts with stairs or inclines, but nothing too challenging. Arrived around 8am at vikingsholm parking lot. Only about 10 other cars at that time, but people started pouring in soon after. Get there early to park in the lot, or you will add a lot of walking to dangerously park along the road.. Costs $10 for parking. Portapotties on site in parking lot. Leisurely hiked all the way to end and back at car by 3 pm.

Must go early in busy Summer season, before 9am for good parking. Otherwise you'll be forced to park on the busy road and walk about a mile to the trail head.
Excellent hike with lots of amazing views. We only did about 30 minutes in and 30 minutes out, not the whole trail. Bring lots of water if its hot, really heats up after 1PM. $8 for parking, but if you park on the road its free.

If we start our hike at Emerald Bay and end at Bliss state park, can we get a bus, taxi, or shuttle back to emerald bay?
Skrevet 6. juli 2021
I am unaware of a bus or shuttle service. I read in someone else’s post that taxis and Uber are very hard to come by there and cel reception is hit and miss, so not to depend on either.
Skrevet 8. juli 2021
Is the trail open during Feb/March? I believe it's off-season. Any tips where to park the car?
Skrevet 19. februar 2020
You can walk and turn around whenever you want . It’s still beautiful scenery
Skrevet 24. august 2019
We will be staying at the boat in camping at Emerald Bay. Does anyone know approximately how far it is from there to Rubicon Point? Thank you.
Skrevet 8. januar 2019
Just under 4 miles by foot along the Rubicon Trail. A bit longer by car
Skrevet 9. januar 2019
Absolutely very little incline work and relatively safe Trail around the lake
