About Ruby Valley Hot Springs
Ruby Valley Hot Springs offers a raw, elemental experience deep in Nevada’s rugged terrain. Nestled within a sprawling basin, these primitive hot springs provide soothing 100°F waters that invite quiet reflection amid vast, open landscapes. The remote setting emphasizes a true connection with nature, far from urban distractions.
Getting There
Reaching Ruby Valley Hot Springs demands a challenging hike of over an hour, winding through rough and uneven terrain. Parking options near the trailhead are limited, so prepare for a brief walk before the ascent. The journey suits those seeking a vigorous approach to rewarding solitude.
What to Expect
Upon arrival, you soak in naturally heated pools surrounded by the quiet expanse of northeastern Nevada. The water maintains a steady warmth that relaxes tired muscles. With few visitors making the trek, the atmosphere remains peaceful and unspoiled, though no developed facilities exist—just pure wilderness immersion.
Tips for Visitors
Bring sturdy hiking boots and ample water to manage the steep and rocky trail safely. Since parking is scarce, plan to arrive early and carry everything you’ll need, as no services exist on-site. Respect the delicate environment by leaving no trace, and check local resources for any updated access information or fees before your trip.
