About Ruby Range
The Ruby Range is a dramatic alpine landscape straddling the Colorado Rockies, characterized by rugged peaks, pristine cirque basins, and sweeping ridgelines that attract serious mountaineers and backcountry enthusiasts. This remote range features steep granite faces, knife-edge crests, and abundant tundra plateaus above treeline, creating a genuine high-altitude wilderness experience. The range offers exceptional opportunities for technical climbing on quality rock, with numerous couloirs and scrambles that challenge intermediate to advanced mountaineers. Crystal-clear alpine lakes dot the terrain, providing stunning basecamp settings and cold-water fishing opportunities amid some of Colorado's most unspoiled backcountry.
