Summer Pack Trips with N.H.D.O.

The Ruby Mountains and East Humboldt wilderness is comprised of a Narrow Range of Mountains sixty miles in length and ten to fifteen miles in width. These mountains are packed with a variety of Hanging Valley canyons, Towering Peaks, Alpine Lakes, Mountain Streams and year long snow fields.

The Canyon with its scored U shaped Canyons, large waterfall's and rugged beauty created by the last Ice Age. It is a must see.

The region has two dozen alpine lakes packed with Brook, Rainbow and the rare Lahonton Cutthroat Trout. It also has numerous high mountain meadows which are covered in wild flowers throughout the summer months. These valleys range from 8,000 to 10,000 feet in elevation. The wilderness has ten peaks towering over ten thousand feet with the highest being the Ruby Dome at 11,387 feet.
