backpack hike ruby dome

At 11,387 feet, Ruby Dome is the highest summit in the Ruby Mountains in eastern Nevada. The Rubies are dramatic and rugged, with deep glacial valleys, hundreds of lakes and herds of bighorn and mountain goats. We will pack in to a high camp with water, then go cross-country to the peak, packing out on the last day. The route will be strenuous and exploratory with scrambling on high ridgetops and possible exposure.
