Welcome to the ROCKS page. This page consists of pictures of many different trips and trails including the famous Rubicon, Fordyce, Signal Peak, Eagles Lake, and Barret Lake trails just to name a few. Many of our group including myself are members of various Clubs. Myself being a member of the Sacramento Valley Varmints, a great four wheel drive club. I will have to admit I was lucky enough to be a member on my first Rock trip. This particular club has been around for a long time. Its members are very experienced and very willing to share there knowledge. For eight years all I did was Rock runs. We ran the Rubicon / Spider Lake Trails about seven or eight times a year. Usually getting in quite a few trips to Fordyce and Signal Peak (the later in which our Club was responsible for maintaining). I would have to say my favorite trail would be Barret Lake. In my personal opinion (for what that's worth) I feel the challenging spots are more difficult than the Rubicon but there's just less of them. It's a beautiful trail and there's even an old Mail plane wreck that you can hike to. Before they put the limitations on the trail we normally did that trip two to three times a year. The club normally does about two runs a month, also working in a couple voluntary work projects and preservation runs. My advice for anyone wanting to try the Rocks, is to become a member of one of the many Clubs in your area. I've watched a lot of inexperienced wheelers do some major Granite inflicted body work and realignment of various running gear to there rigs. Our club is not one to take the easy way around, or cut off trail to avoid the challenges, for one- we are strong enforcers of TREAD LIGHTLY,and Heck!, that's why we go.The rocks are probably one of the most adrenaline razing forms of wheeling. Yes its true your only going about two to five miles an hour. But talk to those that have been there, Its Intense!, and I know they'll be more than willing to share there experiences with you (it sort-a goes with the territory).
