Overview

Ruby is the perfect alternative for those traversing Weston Pass and looking for a bit more challenge. Located on the South Park Ranger District side of the pass, Ruby parallels Weston for nearly 2 miles and provides the same views along a more narrow and rough road. Whether you are looking for a more formidable challenge or looking for an "off the path" camping spot closer to the summit, Ruby might just be the trail for you.
