The Ruby Mountains, south of Elko, are often touted as one of the crown jewels of the Nevada ranges. Lamoille Canyon, the most visited area of the range, has been described by some as the Yosemite of Nevada. I'm not sure I would go quite that far, but the Ruby Range is indeed beautiful, remote, and has an excellent thru hike that visits a large chunk of it. The Ruby Crest Trail is between 33 and 37 miles depending on who you ask. With small side trips for camping, it clocked in at 35 miles by my count. The hike offers a bit of everything, from lower elevation sagebrush hiking to a stunning ridgeline hike at about 10,000 ft. Though exquisite and offering relatively easy Ruby Crest Trail - Elko Nevada - Road Trip Ryan, LLC - Copyright 2006-2021 2 / 9 access, the Ruby Crest Trail doesn't seem crowded. Sections near Overland Lake on the mid portion of the trail and Lamoille Canyon at the northern trailhead are frequently visited, but the rest feels wild and isolated. This makes an excellent 3-4 day outing, though some may want to push it to 5 days. Be warned, this is an advanced hike and requires skill, fitness, and experience. The most difficult section on the Ruby Crest is difficult because of its elevation and lack of water. On our trip, we did about 14 miles between water sources, crossing several summits en route. Lack of water on the big day is a major concern. Be prepared to cover 14 miles between water sources. In mid- summer, there may be snow to melt along the ridge, but too early in the summer and the passes may be tough or dangerous to cross. I would recommend mid-July through early to mid-September as the prime time to visit. Fall brings with it an explosion of colors as the leaves change. Notes: Be mindful of thunderstorms, much of the hike is above or near treeline. Dogs are allowed on the trail and our dog Abby had a great trip. If bringing a dog, however, be sure to carry enough water for them and yourself on the big day. For our group of 2 + dog, we carried nearly 2 gallons of water between us. The map shows where we found water on an early September trip / average snow year. It can be used as a guide, but if getting low, never pass up the opportunity to fill up. Many springs dry up by late summer. Camping can be a bit problematic as many areas have steep hillsides and not much flat ground to pitch a tent on. The description below breaks the trip into 3 nights/4 days and ends each day at a good camping spot. Smaller groups will have an easier time finding good camping. The hike can be done from north to south, or south to north. If hiring a shuttle, the drivers all recommend south to north. This would be my recommendation as well. The scenery gets better and better each day if heading from the south. Trails Worth Hiking (https://www.buzzsprout.com/1235132/) did a great podcast episode on the Ruby Crest trail (episode 7), including interviewing Road Trip Ryan about our experience on the trail.

Tags: hike, wildflowers, fall colors, dog friendly, advanced, access: high clearance Trailhead The Lamoille Trailhead (Recommended exit 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. Ruby Crest Trail - Elko Nevada - Road Trip Ryan, LLC - Copyright 2006-2021 3 / 9 To Harrison Pass (Trailhead) From the ends of the road, go back down Lamoille Canyon to 227. Go left (west) on 227. Follow this back 12 miles toward Elko. Turn left onto state road 228. (signed, major junction) Follow 228 south for 40.1 miles. It passes through the incredibly small town of Jiggs, then continues south before turning east and heading up to the pass. Just before the pass, the road turns to good graded dirt. It should be reachable by all in most conditions. The pass offers good views to the east. Park at the large parking are if you have a low clearance 2wd vehicle. Route Day 1 - From Harrison Pass to the South Fork (10 miles from Harrison Pass / 8.2 from the 4wd Trailhead) From Harrison Pass, walk or drive the jeep road. Stay on the obvious main road and several small forks. It is about 2.8 miles to where the jeep road makes a left on the ridge and flattens out. There is a parking area here and trailhead sign. If driving, I would recommend parking here. Continue along the jeep road, staying right at the first junction, again on the obvious main road. It contours around with several more minor side roads. Ignore this. The further you get, the narrower the road gets and the more it becomes an ATV trail. The trail then crosses the Wilderness Boundary and begins a mellow meander in and out of the many side canyons. A ridgeline makes a good lunch spot before the descent to the South Fork of Smith Creek. There were several shallow streams crossing the road when we hiked this route early September. On the south bank of the South Fork of Smith Creek are several good campsites. The camping is just OK, though, as the area seems to be pretty heavily used by livestock. We continued on and camped in the Middle Fork, but flat ground was very hard to come by.

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.

One method being considered is to revive Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930's and 1940's. The National Association of Civilian Conservation Corps Alumni is dedicated to making the "CCC II" a reality. 1 ~ In his New Deal plans the CCC was one of Roosevelt's many experiments to put the country back to work and get it on its feet economically.

  • 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.
