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.    Often compared to the Swiss Alps, the Ruby Mountains' steep, craggy peaks rise nearly 5,000 feet above the valley below, capped by Ruby Dome at 11,387 feet. A 45-minute drive puts you at the top of Lamoille Canyon Scenic Byway, where the hikes range from couple-hour excursions to multi-day thru-hikes on theRuby Crest National Recreation Trail, all to beautiful, trout-packed alpine lakes. Come winter, the Rubies boast 300 inches of the driest, fluffiest snow in the USA-seducing snowshoers, snowmobilers, and powder-hungry backcountry and heli-skiers alike. ~Travel Nevada
