Ruby Dome is the highest peak in the Ruby Mountains and Elko County standing at 11,387+ft. The route is approximately 4.7 miles and climbs 4,865' starting at Griswold Trailhead. The trail leads to Griswold Lake on a well-traveled trail with cairns dispersed intermittently after 2 miles. Griswold Lake is 3.3 miles and about a 2700' climb from the trailhead. The remainder of the route does not have a well-traveled trail but there are cairns to follow on top of the saddle on the final push to the summit.

Here is a Strava segment for this loop clockwise. Scott Traer ran it in 1:22:04. Counterclockwise may have a faster time.

A hidden gem of Southern Phoenix! This little known route takes you up Bursera trailhead and connects you to National Trailhead. From here you’ll get the best 360 views of Southern Phoenix. The route is very runnable with a mix of technical and smooth dirt running.
