Ruby Dome, Mountain summit in Elko County, Nevada, US.
Ruby Dome rises to 11,392 feet as the highest peak in the Ruby Mountains, offering views across Elko County and the surrounding mountain ranges.
Early explorers named the Ruby Mountains after discovering garnets in the area, leading to the designation of Ruby Dome as the range's highest point.
The Ruby Mountains, including Ruby Dome, were known to the Shoshoni people as Duka Doya, meaning snowcapped, reflecting their deep connection to the land.
Climbers access Ruby Dome through Griswold Lake, following a Class 2 scramble east to the saddle between Griswold Lake and Seitz Canyon.
The mountain stands as the highest peak for 90 miles in any direction, with a prominence of 4,793 feet ranking thirteenth in Nevada.
