Post up any names of memorable places on the trail here. Post Pics if you got them.
The first would be gatekeeper.
The Granite Bowl
Ellis Creek
Is there a name for the first hard spot past Ellis? The one with the bypass by the steep face on the left?
Walker Rock, Walker Hill
Soup Bowl
Little Sluice
Arnolds Rock
Chappies Rock
Buck Island Dam
Kaufmans Corner
Old Sluice, True Big Sluice, Big 'ol Sluice
Big Sluice
Cadillac Hill
Overlook or Observation, we used to call it the "Parking lot in the sky" too.
Bottom Dollar Hole
Barker cutoff, first and second one.
Grave markers...Does that have a name?
The by-pass to the right up the wall in Little Sluice...Heard: Chicken rock, Toyota hill...others
Pirate Camp at sluice
I call the area just past gatekeeper the swamp
I believe the " carwash "to be first bridge before staging area on tahoe side .It used to be open over the creek producing a monster bog.This was before paving of the road to the staging area and addition of the wood bridge.
Not on the trail, but we've called Sourdough mountain overlooking the Con -"Top Of The World" for 20 years...I didn't even know the hill's real name till last year.
I have a lot of them mapped out in 3D and Satellite.

Barker cutoff, first and second one. = Barker Pass is on top before Miller Lake
This spot is my groups exclusive name we made it up last year after a bad 3 days of a bunch of broken parts, in fact every vehicle in our group of 7 was broken at the same time and the only place we could get ever body was a spot we fondly named " burnt rock" its a camp ground looking over the bowl on the wentworth spring entrance about 50 ft before it meets the loon lake entrance. It was a cold night and we could not get any thing to go right but about 10 pm we found the spot and while freezing our but off we lit a fire on a make newly made but safe fire pit and stayed thier all weekend till we fix our vehicle and could every bod out on our own power so i would like every body to consider " BURNT ROCK" one of my rubicon places.
The Spot after the climb up Walker, level spot with drop off on passenger side. Named after the incident in this pic. No name dropping here. :flipoff2:
I have to tell you that the driving in that small area right there, most likely, is what got Spider closed. I just did a walking tour with some FS people and that is the impression I got.

Right before you go over the damm at buck going towards tahoe, you can go left up on top and over....is that the trail and over the damm is like a bypass?
Yep I've heard alligator pit too. In fact that might be more accurate than the swamp.
