Placer County seeks public input on proposal to expand Rubicon Trail parking lot

TAHOMA – There are plans to improve the parking lot at the end of the Rubicon Trail, a popular trail for off-roaders that stretches from Georgetown to Tahoma. "Trucks, trailers and everyone is in their own configurations all the time, so pulling on through is sometimes a pain in the butt," Brian Stotts, who wrapped up a week-long trip on the Rubicon Trail, finishing in Tahoma. That's why he and others support a new proposal to expand the staging area parking lot, making it easier for off-roaders to pass through without the chaos. "I'm all for it, I think it would be a great thing," Stotts said. Ken Hower, former president of the Rubicon Trail Foundation, has followed the project from the beginning. "The current parking lot has never been sufficient in size," Hower said. "Anyone who lives around there knows people park alongside it." Placer County is now seeking public input on a proposal to add 35,000 square feet of pavement, enough for 32 to 34 trailer-sized parking spots. "They have a truck, they have a trailer, they have their rig, they unload their rig at the staging area, and then they drive and do the trail and they come back and reload it," Hower said. "So that's where the parking lot comes into play." But the plan has its critics who worry the expansion would require removing trees and could attract even more visitors, adding traffic to nearby neighborhoods. Hower doesn't see it that way. "It's not going to change the dynamics for how many people are coming or how many vehicles are going to be coming to park, it's just going to be better and safer for them to park," Hower said. And for drivers like Stotts, it's not just a matter of convenience, but it's also about protecting the trail, too. "I'm not really sure what people would be upset about," Sotts said. The project is still in its early stages and the county is looking for public comment through Friday, June 13.

Trump and Musk feud continues over ‘big, beautiful bill'

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Fall out continues after Elon Musk turned on President Donald Trump and launched an online campaign to kill the Republicans' big, beautiful bill. White House sources say the president does not plan to call Musk to smooth things out after he threatened to terminate Musk's many government contracts. The blow-up left Republicans on Capitol Hill rattled as Musk, the richest man in the world, appears dead set on killing a key part of their domestic agenda. 'I hope this gets worked out,' said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). House Republicans are holding out hope President Trump and Musk will make amends. 'I think they'll figure it out, sometimes brothers fight,' said Rep. Michael Rulli (R-Ohio.). Musk launched a flurry of fiery attacks against the president online and he urged his more than 220 million X followers to call their senators to kill the president's big beautiful bill. House Republican leaders, who narrowly passed the massive tax and spending plan last month, insist Musk's objections hold no weight. 'I mean our membership has never been more united behind President Trump and delivering on the agenda,' said Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.). The president insists the Tesla CEO is turning on the plan simply because it does not benefit his company. 'Elon's upset because we took the EV mandate which was a lot of money for electric vehicles,' said Trump. Musk denies the accusation. He argues his beef is with the bill's price tag. 'I'm not glad or whatever. People come and go at the White House. He was a special government employee and an expiration date,' said Senior White House Advisor Peter Navarro. The White House is downplaying Musk's attacks, but they do say the president now plans to either sell or give away the red Tesla he bought from Musk in March. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries says through it all Musk is right about one thing, 'Donald Trump would likely not be the president of the United States of America right now. Without Elon Musk.' Musk spent more than $200 million to help get President Trump elected in November. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
