Ruby Lake Trail in the Rock Creek Area of Highway 395
Ruby Lake is a beautiful high-altitude lake near Rock Creek. The trail is only 4 miles round trip and is stunning pretty much the entire way. We hiked it late in the day and got to watch the sunset over Ruby Lake. It is a great choice since the Little Lakes Valley Trail, which leaves from the same trailhead is much busier than this one is.

I am so thankful for you video taping these beautiful hikes. I am unable to hike like that so I appreciate seeing it thru your eyes!
Love it. Your older video on Bishop inspired my best friend & I to travel there & explore as much as we could, it was so magical. Seeing this video makes me want to go back ASAP. SO MUCH beauty to explore!!!

Did you go on a one day trip? Or were did you sleep?
Thank you for this great video! My husband and I hiked this trail about 20 years ago. I will never forget the magnificent views along the trail!
That reveal was breathtaking! The views were simply amazing!
Absolutely beautiful!!! I low key envied the people camping there. And I don’t even like camping 😁 But imagine waking up in such a beautiful place! Great video Josh, as always.
Great video. What a beautiful gem. Thanks for sharing another wonderful adventure.
Beautiful, I need to put this on my list
Beautiful scenery!! ❤️
Absolutely stunning place. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Great quick morning run.
Great video .. I wish I was your camera 🎥 to explore everything you adventure.
The lake looks amazing, especially the close up shots.
Many years ago, we took the trek to Gem Lakes. We only saw one other group of people on that trail. It was like we had the whole valley to ourselves! It really is an escape for us city folk. We are headed up to Lee Vining and Bridgeport next month.
Great informative video as always. Also that timelapse clip at the end is gorgeous. Thanks for showing us all these cool spots!
wow what a hike! adding it to my list! thank you for sharing!
was just there today and only made it to Heart Lake since we had kids with us, definitely want to check out Ruby Lake next time...Awesome video!

Is it too hard for kids?
We loved your blogs thru the years
I wasn’t ready for that reveal! Thanks for this video. I’ll definitely put it on my list for when i visit Central California again!
Brilliant as usual!
That lake is stunning man!!
Beautiful my friend
We fish Rock Creek Lake near Tom's Place almost every year. Didn't know Ruby Lake existed. Thanks for this beautiful alpine lake video.
Beautiful Hike! Good job. Thanks!
Appreciate your videos. They're informative, great vid shots and always enjoyable to watch.
Amazing views! Beautiful area! I live in Florida so I'm sure I would be huffing and puffing going up that trail!
Starting at 10K+ elevation...wow. Great video as always.
I'll add it on my bucket list! Thanks for this video ❤️
Absolutely gorgeous! Was just talking to my brother about getting to the Eastern Sierras for a backpacking trip. Thanks for the video(s)! Happy Trails!
I did the Little Lakes Valley and it was beautiful as well.. next time i'm doing Ruby Lakes .. awesome vid Josh
Gorgeous, my damn. That whole area seems underrated
Thank you!!! I really enjoy your videos!
a great video, I so hope I can fly to LA this year and do some of your hikes
Stunning view to see
Amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful spot! Got to get there.
We were JUST in this area earlier this month. I wish we had known about this trail.
Incredible!!
Hey Josh what a amazing video 👍. I’ll be at Convict lake camping next month and glad I came across this video I’ll definitely be checking this place out looks amazing.
Gorgeous!
I have to say it Ruby Lake is a jewel
Beautiful!
Josh that was really beautiful we are doing the white mt. Peak in a couple months and probably head too Ruby Lake after but we will do some fishing. Trying to do a few trips before we move to South Carolina next yr. Will miss California but looking forward to the east coast
Little Lakes Valley Trail is spectacular with snow capped mountains.
You will have to go up Mono Pass sometime. It is one of my all time favorite hikes period. If you are ever backpacking in this area, head over the pass and down to 4th Recess Lake. It is stunning back there and chances are you will have the lake to yourself since past Mono Pass the crowds really thin out.
Great vid
I think you would make a good geologist! Thanks Josh!
The last time I was in Mammoth (early autumn 2017), my ex and I did this hike with our Aussie. ⛰🐶🐾🐾 We would usually do the Rock Creek Trail out to the far end of Long Lake, but decided to attempt Ruby Lake. 11,500’ elevation. Gorgeous hike and views. Even though it was late Sept, there was ice from the previous winter still around in various hidden places. 👍🏻😎
Bagus sekali, kapan ya bisa ke sana, indah sekali....from Indonesia
magnifique.
Great Video as usual. How warm was it when did the hike? The lake looks absolutely gorgeous....you should do a camping trip there next time.
Wow i have never heard about this place
Saved!
So awesome.would love to backpack there. Bear cannister is a must?
Definitely something I won't to do the next time I'm in the area.
Can you post a gpx on those awesome trails youre hiking
Great views for sure Josh. I looked for the link to the Little Lakes Valley but never saw it. Could you please reply with that? Thanks! Can you do a loop from Ruby to Little Lakes and back to the trail head?
Wow it’s gorgeous! Def adding to my list. Curious……where did u stay during this trip?
Thank you for amazing video.
Small pack and a pole you can run up to mono pass then come down and eat a trout or two before noon if your quick. Then make it home.By one ish
Great video! Do you need to obtain a permit in order to hike that area?
I just watched your Little Lakes video also. If you had to pick one hike (I'll only be there for one day), which one would you recommend?
👍😍
What were the afternoon temps?
How was the water?
How experienced of a hiker do you think you should be to do this? considering the crazy elevation to begin with

Trails are easy to follow (they're well worn) and not technical. The only factor is the elevation and how sensitive you are to it. I wished I had a chance to get acclimated for a couple days before tackling Little Lakes. Took me 2-3 days to recover. People respond differently to altitude though.

@@roadtripper2656 good to know. Highest I've gone before was 10,000 and was ok, but didn't know how another 1,000 would affect me
Is it ok to swim in ruby lake?
Can you camp there ?
Did you camp there or did you hike back in the dark/dusk?
Did you camp out there?
😊✌
Did you see a lot of snakes on this trail?
