Thanks for the great suggestion, Garrison. I’ll look into that.

Also in Nevada, with a stunning extended ridgeline above 10,000 feet. It is a rarely hiked forgotten gem in Nevada.

Hi Gwen,

Much of the Ruby Crest Trail is above treeline but the places to camp generally have trees where I think you’d be able to set up hammocks. It may be challenging but if you have experience dealing with that, you’ll probably sleep in a hammock every night.

Good luck.
