Lamoille Canyon

This national Scenic Byway serves as the gateway to the Lamoille Canyon Scenic Area and Ruby Mountain wilderness.

Sometimes referred to as the "Yosemite of Nevada," the canyon was heavily carved by glacial activity. A four-stop self guided auto tour with geology interpretive exhibits leads visitors past meadows full of wildflowers, abundant wildlife, waterfalls, and avalanche chutes.

Nature trails and picnic grounds are available.
