Highlights
At the far west end of the Rubicon Trail in the Eldorado National Forest, Wentworth Springs is the original start of the Rubicon Trail. Now typically bypassed by most entering the Rubicon at Loon Lake, this section of the trail is well worth the time to run it. A couple of notable obstacles, a killer campground at the beginning and some views of the Granite Bowl that you don't get anywhere else make Wentworth Springs a must for any wheeler ready for the Rubicon Trail.
