Though relatively short, the hike offers big views of Lamoille Canyon and has several smaller lakes to pass en route. This is a popular destination for fisherman, so be sure to bring your rod and reel if you are inclined. This also makes a great short overnighter for families. Tags: hike, wildflowers, fall colors, dog friendly, family friendly, beginner, access: paved Trailhead From downtown Elko, take 5th Street south, which becomes state road 227. This is well signed for Lamoille Canyon. From Elko, stay on 227 for about 19 miles to the signed Forest Road 660 on the right. Signed for Lamoille. Follow the road to its ends in 12 miles. This is the exit trailhead. There is a toilet at the trailhead, but no camping. Thompson Canyon Campround is part way up the canyon, but can fill up on weekends. See Reserve America for reservations. Route From the trailhead, follow the main trail. It climbs in the wash bottom, then begins a series of wide, sweeping switchbacks climbing up to the next layer of the canyon. Once up a layer, the trail flattens out a bit and offers great views of Lamoille Canyon. Lamoille Lake - Elko Nevada - Road Trip Ryan, LLC - Copyright 2006-2020 1 / 3 The first few lakes passed are called Dollar Lakes. They are much smaller and don't tend to attract the number of visitors Lamoille Lake does. If looking for a bit of solitude, these lakes can likely offer it. Continuing past Dollar Lakes, it is a short distance to the junction for Lamoille Lake on the right. The lake is within sight of this junction and offers quite a few good primitive campsites along its shore.

A day hike is worth doing, but if you have time, I would highly recommend staying a night or two at Liberty Lake and using it as a springboard to Favre Lake, Wines Peak, and Furlong Lake as day hikes from a base camp at Liberty Lake. Note: Liberty Lake itself offers only a few primitive campsites and is relatively confined.

New Investigations of Pleistocene Glacial and Pluvial Records in Northeastern Nevada
fl d021-01 1st pgs page 1 The Geological Society of America Field Guide 21 2011 New investigations of Pleistocene glacial and pluvial records in northeastern Nevada Jeffrey S. Munroe Geology Department, Middlebury College, Middlebury, Vermont 05753, USA Benjamin J.C. Laabs Department of Geological Sciences, State University of New York–Geneseo, Geneseo, New York 14454, USA ABSTRACT The Great Basin of the western United States offers tremendous potential for exploring the response of mountain glaciers and lowland lakes to climate changes during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, MIS-2, ca. 22–18 ka B.P.) and subsequent glacial-interglacial transition. The combination of well-distributed alpine moraine records and pluvial lake deposits offers an unparalleled opportunity to develop a more precise understanding of temperature and precipitation changes during the lat- est Pleistocene and into the Holocene. This fi eld trip provides an overview of recent and ongoing work illuminating aspects of the glacial and pluvial history of northeast- ern Nevada from the LGM to the present. The route of this trip involves three full days of stops separated by two nights in Elko, Nevada. The fi rst day focuses on glacial deposits at the type locality for the LGM Angel Lake Glaciation on the eastern side of the East Humboldt Range. The second day explores the geomorphic record of pluvial Lakes Franklin and Clover on the east side of the Ruby–East Humboldt Mountains and describes recent efforts to develop a chronology for the late Pleistocene regression of these lakes. The fi nal day again focuses on glacial geology, starting with the type locality of the pre-LGM Lamoille Glaciation on the west side of the Ruby Mountains, and ending with several stops along the scenic drive up Lamoille Canyon.

Summary of Humboldt River Resources (1829-1950)
SUMMARY OF HUMBOLDT RIVER RESOURCES (1829-1950) From Bob McQuivey, Retired, Nevada Department of Wildlife February 9, 2008 INTRODUCTION - The following represents references to fish and fisheries resources in the Humboldt River, such references found in reviewing historical newspapers and as gleaned from reviewing journals and diaries of early emigrants. Also included are all of the pertinent statutes relating to fisheries management objectives attendant to the Humboldt River system, and references from the early Fish Commissioner’s reports. ORAL INTERVIEWS Early day range, livestock and wildlife observations as recalled by Mr. Sid Tremewan, first forest supervisor of the Humboldt National Forest in an interview on March 31, 1964. Document may be found in the files of the U.S. Forest Service in Elko and the Northeastern Nevada Historical Society. When we were on the Evans [ranch], the cutthroat trout would come up out of the Humboldt River to spawn every spring. They would run almost all the streams from Pie Creek to North Fork. When they started back after spawning, lots of them would end up in the irrigation ditches. I have gone out behind the Evans in the ditch next to the meadow and picked up three or four of those cutthroat every morning. They would weigh three or four pounds. 1829 Ogden, Peter Skeen - Snake Country Journals; edited by Glyndwr Williams; London; The Hudson's Bay Record Society; 1971. [Ogden returned to the Humboldt on April 8, 1829, and the daily logs provide the following] April 9, 1829 - ...We found thirty Indians employed in fishing salmon trout, about eight inches in length, remarkably fine.
