On the eve of Husbandburger's birthday last week, we embarked upon our longest and most challenging hike yet. We hiked the Rubicon Trail in South Lake Tahoe; starting at Emerald Bay (via the Vikingsholm Trail) and ending at D.L. Bliss State Park. Over 50,000 steps, 7.5 hours, 12.2 miles, four sore feet, and one sunburn later, we made it back to our car just in time for red Gatorade and a BBQ dinner. The views were awe inspiring and breathtaking. The hike was challenging and intense. There were tons of interesting features to this hike and overall we had a great time. We'd definitely recommend giving this hike a try at least once. D.L. Bliss Park was closed when we hiked, if the park is open, you can park a car at both ends and hike just one way, instead of out and back. This option would make this hike much more approachable and manageable (and repeatable) for more people. If you choose to do your own hike on the Rubicon Trail, be sure to go prepared. Bring plenty of water (we barely had enough), wear sunscreen and protective clothing (Wifeburger's sunburn still hurts!), make sure your shoes are supportive and comfortable, pace yourself, and be sure to have plenty of fun!
