Ruby mine hike

Details

Location: 32.365/1, -106.61446

It's on Baylor Canyon Rd about midway between Hwy 70 and Dripping Springs Rd
There isn't any signage. There is a cattle guard near by. Parking is on the side of the road, I will be in a grey Chevy Spark.

This hike is a bit more challenging than our regular ones. It's very rocky and gets steep in some areas. It's an in and out hike that is around 3.5 miles with an elevation gain of just over 1k ft.

As always, beginners and newbies welcomed. We will take as many breaks as needed.

Here's the usual things to keep in mind:

  • Stay on the trail, don't walk off the trail
  • Protect yourself from the sun with sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat
  • Take breaks often
  • Know your limits and how you're feeling
  • Bring water and a snack, if you need/ want one
    Follow Leave No Trace principles
  • Don't litter
  • Pack out trash, recyclables, and food waste
  • Leave the area as you found it
