    Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge has over 37 thousand acres. With around 15 thousand of those…read moreacres being Ruby Lake. Ruby Lake is a marsh. Ducks love this marsh and it is popular for nesting. While we were on the lake we saw ducks in the grasslands. It is a beautiful place to spend a few hours at. We didn't go far because it became very windy. They have a visitor center that you can visit. We were kayaking here and really think being on the water is the way to experience this lake. This lake has trout and bass which seem to be pretty large. If you want to visit a spacious and scenic part of Nevada then we highly recommend this refuge.

    We went on this County Rd to see what's out at Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge. We soon stopped…read moreat the Main Boat Landing and grabbed some maps which is important. We missed Fort Ruby & the Narciss Boat Landing. At the Main Boat Landing there's bathrooms, boat ramp & maps/info on a kiosk. There were some fishermen in their boats. From the brochure: "located in the Great Basin of the West, Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge is a wetland oasis in NV's high desert. This remarkable refuge lies along the eastern flank of the scenic, snow-capped Ruby Mtns." There's lots of birds: We saw some American avocet, White-faced ibis, Coots, & Canvasback, many others couldn't ID. We didn't see mammals, reptiles, amphibians, or fish but they are there somewhere. We did a short auto tour to see the Marsh on a dirt road on our way to Harrison Pass Rd. Best time to see waterfowl & their young is from May-July. Nesting & migrating songbirds best observed during May-June. Sept-Oct can be up to 25,000 waterfowl & coots. Location: Ruby Lk Refuge is located in the south Ruby Valley, 65 mi SE of Elko & 100 miles NW of Ely in Northeastern NV.

    Talk about EPIC‼ My friend & myself drove into Elko Nevada to go snowmobiling & boy was this the…read moreTime of our life! I was nervous because i had never been snowmobiling but Jason & Joe were more than helpful with tips on how to handle the snow mobile & it eased my mind knowing that as we were riding we wouldn't get lost in the sauce or left behind because their was always a guide in the front & back of us . Towards the end I definetly let loose a lot on the snow mobile in the beginning I actually ended up falling off of it one time but Joe had already prepared of what to do if this shall happen so I didn't panic too bad! The scenery was beautiful as we rode in & thru the mountains they kept us on pretty smooth trails for the most part being that we were beginners & we enjoyed every bit of it ! Once we finished Jason had us lunch that his wife had prepared sandwiches , soup , & Joe kept us stuffed with Reese cups as dessert it was hilarious ! I reccomend to anyone that hasn't been snowmobiling atleast do it one time in your lifetime!

    Booked a snowmobile tour with this company as we were driving into Elko. We wanted to spend some…read moretime having fun and enjoying the mountains. It was very short notice but they fit us in. Very professional group. Willing to accommodate all our needs. Excellent equipment and guides, Jason and Mitch are wonderful. We even got a fabulous lunch that Jason's wife prepared for us.
