All roads lead somewhere amazing out here, but the arguable centerpiece of the Elko region is the glacier-carved range known as the Ruby Mountains, accessed via Lamoille Canyon Scenic Byway. This 12-mile paved road works its way up past vistas straight out of a photographer's dream. While exploring the Byway, keep your eyes peeled for Kodak moments, interpretive signs, and access to the bends and beaver ponds of Lamoille Creek. There are plenty of places to pull over for a quick forested jaunt in the woods or to spread out a blanket and enjoy that picnic you packed earlier. Naturally, the range of recreational opportunities is as wide as the landscapes, enticing adventurers with hiking, backpacking, cycling (both on and way, way off the pavement), big-game hunting (the elk are gargantuan), and fishing so good it's almost unfair.Activities: Biking, Birding, Camping, Fishing, Horseback Riding, Hiking, Hunting, Paddle Sports, Rock Climbing, Star Gazing, Winter Sports, Wildlife Viewing
Facilities/Amenities: Campsites, RV sites (no hookups), Drinking Water, Pets Ok, Picnic Sites, Restrooms
