Ruby Lake day hike

We went back again today to the Mosquito Flats trail head on Rock Creek, but took the trail up the hill toward Mono Pass. We only went as far as Ruby Lake at 11,100 ft. The real seriously steep climbing to the pass starts after reaching Ruby Lake.

As the trail climbs there are several vantage points to look down into Little Lakes valley and see a number of the lakes. Ruby Lake itself sits in a bowl below a 13,000 foot ridge that is impressive. The round trip hike was a short 4.5 miles.
