The trail comes off of Wines Peak and runs along the top of the Ruby Mountains staying close to or above 10,000 feet until you drop down and head for Overland Creek. There is some up and down on this section but nothing too major.

You have great views of Ruby Valley to one side and Mahogany and Long Canyon on the other. You also have a great view of South Fork Reservoir and Mound Valley.
