I guess I should qualify my statement on the dust. Both times I ran the Dusy were late in the season, probably mid to late September. That time of the year the Rubicon is also quite dusty. Like the Rubicon, I'd imagine the Dusy is a lot less dusty earlier in the season. That said, I'd try to hit the trail midseason to avoid cold weather. At that altitude it gets a bit nippy. Overall, it's definitely a fun, scenic trail. Highlights include Chicken Rock (wouldn't want to lose a driveshaft on that climb), Thompson Hill, Widow(maker?) rock. Warning: watch out for those nasty roots and branches that like to eat tires. This is definitely not a trail to leave the spare behind!
