Topo and GPS tracks for today's 7mi 2800ft gain outing to Rubicon Peak.   I had originally planned on traversing all the way to Jakes Peak- but a chest cold I'd been dealing with all week got the best of me.

This was my 3rd trip up Rubicon.  The prior two can be found here and here.

Parked at the Highland Street trailhead as I had on my other visits to the peak.  Would pass the couple that owned the Lexus about a half mile up the trail- one of whom had slipped and broken a wrist on the trail.

Beginning the 2200 climb directly up the ridge.  There was a prescribed burn going on nearby and the air was a bit smokey.

This creek was the only water on the initial ascent.  (The trail approaches but does not cross this stream- the trail is a bit indeterminate at this point and it is easy to miss the turn)

This is a snowmelt stream fed by the snowfield just under the Rubicon summit.
