    Ruby Dome via Hennen Canyon
    Really fun and exhilarating climb to Ruby Dome! Beautiful views and an epic summit block. Definitely a hike you want to be prepared for and research beforehand. There is exposure of steep slabs depending on what route you take to ascend the west ridge. I recommend this for anyone looking for an adventure

    Island Lake
    Spectacular wildflowers August 1. Great views the whole way up. The elevation is a steady gain the whole way. Cute small waterfall and bridge at halfway point. The lake itself is small but pretty, and plenty of area to explore at the top.

    Camp Creek Trailhead to Camp Creek
    Very remote, only come out here with a high clearance vehicle. Lonely, beautiful, good camping at the trail head.

    Nevada at a really cool lake what an awesome place the fish jump on your hook in the dirt bike ride to sell

    Good trail with several waterfalls along Thomas Creek. Two more waterfalls at the headwall at the end of the canyon.
