Ruby Mountain Backpacking and Fishing

My friend Christian and I finally found some time to get out on another adventure. This time we traveled to the Ruby Mountains just outside of Elko Nevada. This was my third time in the area and his first. Though there was more people than we expected we found a primitive campsite and had a great time.

I never get tired of seeing video or stills of the Ruby Mountains. I lived in Elko way back in the early 60s. I went back in 2017 and drove up the canyon a couple of times. Thanks for sharing your trip.😃

You're welcome Danny. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The Rubies are fantastic and a nice little break from my local mountains here in Utah. I've got some good friends in Elko and try and go at least once a year.

Great trip. Fishing and relaxing and hiking and just enjoying the outdoors. Love that drone footage from up top. Really cool my friend

[@thebackpackblazer3973]

Thanks Jason. I see you've been out and about in some new places. It makes me want to get out and see other places.

The hike in the lake looked great, nice lake and some fishing are always a must. Drone footage was awesome

[@thebackpackblazer3973]

Thanks brother. I just watched your Carlton Peak edit. What a beautiful place.

[@Packsalot]

Way cool Dustin. Those mountains and views are amazing. I loved the drone shots. Wow. 👍😃

[@thebackpackblazer3973]

Thanks Steve. You'll have to check the Ruby's out one of these weekends. Almost the same drive as some of the Southern and Northern Uinta trips.

[@Packsalot]

@@thebackpackblazer3973 For sure. I'll bring you along as a guide! 👍😃

[@MinuteontheMountain]

Never been there, Blazer, but it looks like an awesome spot. Thanks for taking us along.

[@thebackpackblazer3973]

You got it my friend. The Ruby's aren't too far if you ever need a change of scenery.

[@JagerOtter]

Nice brother. Wish we could have gone too. Let’s go backpacking soon, El and I miss your face. 😎

[@JagerOtter]

Or BbQ or whatever. 🤛🏻

[@thebackpackblazer3973]

@@JagerOtter McKell and I miss you both. I'm on call this week so I'll be close to home until next Wednesday. Are ya'll going anywhere this weekend?

[@StarrDaniel]

Wow such a beautiful place! Would love to do some hiking in that area one day!

[@thebackpackblazer3973]

Hey thanks for the comment. It's a neat place if you get the chance.

[@AaronSadino]

Nice video man! Looking forward to more videos from you!

[@thebackpackblazer3973]

Thanks brother. Ia appreciate your support. I also look forward to following along your channel.

Beautiful couple of days.... I have really had a bad season this year... and I wanted to do better this year... Life and health issues just keep popping up.... That ridge line was fantastic... Fantastic drone shots.

[@thebackpackblazer3973]

The ridge was probably my favorite part of this trip. I could have sat there for hours. Bummer the year hasn't played out like you wanted, but your making the most out if it. I I'm hoping a lot of things are different this next year.

Beautiful country! 🤙🏻

[@thebackpackblazer3973]

Yes Sir

[@JohnAmes]

Awesome my friend

[@thebackpackblazer3973]

Always appreciated my friend.

[@FishfearmeStudios]

Thought at the beginning you were going to have the piano guys with you on this trip. Rugged beauty. Some good little fish action. Do you have to worry about rattlesnakes there?

[@thebackpackblazer3973]

Haha! There are defiantly rattle snakes lower in the canyon. This was my third time here and I have not seen one, however heard other say they have.

[@scottmccauley2331]

It there was a willow tree nearby you could've improvised a way for it to hold the line and leader and fish "old old school". Beats giving up and heading back

[@thebackpackblazer3973]

Agreed. I could have found something to get by or just relaxed and enjoyed the scenery.
