In the winter of 2000, the famous Rubicon Trail was on the verge of being closed off for good.
But Del Albright wouldn’t let The Rubicon Trail go away without a fight. He started the organization, Friends of The Rubicon, mobilized off-roaders, and, with the help of BFGoodrich’s Outstanding Trails program, successfully saved that iconic trail.
It was a monumental moment for the sport of off-roading, but it wouldn’t have happened if not for a dedicated enthusiast like Del.
"I love the fact that I can go up in the high country, hike,and see stuff that man, mankind hasn't beat up, developed, or destroyed.”
Del’s made it his mission in life to help others protect what’s important to them and he’s been at it for over 40 years now. His lifelong dedication to responsible off-roading and the preservation of public trails has earned him enshrinement in the Off-Road Hall of Fame. But he still sees a great need for more people like you to get involved in protecting public lands and trails.
