Event comments
Walk along the upper Rubicon Trail descending to lake-level at the Vikingsholm Castle (you may want to take a tour, extra fee). 5k walkers don't quite get to the Vikingsholm and will retrace their steps back to the start/finish after viewing the spectacular Lower Eagle Falls. 6k walkers will proceed to the Vikingsholm then retrace their steps back to the start/finish. 10k walkers will continue along a level bayside trail passing the checkpoint for a few meters, then turnaround and retrace their steps back to the Vikingsholm, and up the trail to the start/finish. Walkers will come upon breathtaking scenery, wildlife, and occasional picnic spots along the entire trail, thus making for a most enjoyable event in El Dorado County.Water and restrooms are available at start/finish and at the Vikingsholm/6k turnaround. 10k walkers, one more restroom available before the 10k checkpoint. Hiking sticks advisable, carry water, no dogs. There is a $10.00 park entrance fee ($9.00 for seniors 62+).
