Trail Information
Highlights
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.

Much better views and more fun than the rest of Weston. The last section by MP 5/6 gets more steep, and narrow with significant drainage ruts. Had to cut out a fallen aspen so it's good to go. Highly recommended if you do Weston.

Ran this trail in the following:
2000 Frontier - 3" lift, 33's, no lockers
2001 4Runner - 3" lift, 33's, no lockers.
2004 4Runner - 2/1" lift, 32's, no lockers.
This is a great little spur to run if you're running Weston and want a bit more fun. We ran it in the up-hill direction and it was a fun spur. Really short, maybe 20-minutes, but it's more fun than the adjacent section of Weston Pass.
The section between WP5 and 6 is pretty steep and has some ruts and roots in it. it had just rained when we ran it and it made it a bit slippery.

This trail is short with not a lot of excitement, but it is rougher than the graded Fairplay side of Weston Pass. There are some good views and some good camp spots. Overall, it is a nice detour if you are not in a hurry to get off the pass.
