Rodriguez Fire Tank is a prominent water source on the Pacific Crest Trail, located at mile 68.
It is a natural spring which is piped from a concrete box. It is a strategically important water source given the potential dry stretch north of here, however it can be unreliable. Hikers often have to adjust a valve in order to release water, although in periods of drought this may still not provide any water. If this source is dry, another flowing spring can sometimes be found by following the dirt road downhill for a little over a mile.
The next natural water source is Barrel Spring at mile 101. Hikers may be able to source water from caches at Scissors Crossing and/or the 3rd Gate Water Cache.
