PRESS RELEASE
Placerville, CA – July 16, 2026 – The Rubicon Trail Foundation (RTF) today announced the appointment of Ron Humphrey as a new Director to its Board of Directors.

Ron Humphrey brings deep passion, hands-on experience, and a strong commitment to trail stewardship to the RTF Board. Many in the RTF community already know Ron from his years of volunteering on the trail, at Cantina for the Con, and through his active involvement in the broader RTF community.

What truly sets Ron apart is his dedication to giving back. He has shared that RTF trail work days and volunteering for Cantina for the Con are among the highlights of his summers.

“Ron does not just enjoy using the trail, he enjoys giving back to it,” said Alan Johnson, President of the Rubicon Trail Foundation. “That passion for stewardship and willingness to contribute are exactly the qualities we look for in board members. We are thrilled to welcome him to the Board and look forward to his contributions in preserving and protecting the Rubicon for future generations.”
