We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Ruby Mountain yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Ruby Mountain
Good rock hounding. Good cruising trails. Watch out for rattlers. And remember kids: break glass and Uncle Randy will break your face. 😃 Have fun out there and dont worry about the nominal radioactivity.
