Ruby Mountains
The Ruby Mountains rise above northeast Nevada near the city of Elko, and nearest the Spring Creek community where my folks built the family getaway. Inside Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, Lamoille Canyon cuts through the range with dramatic peaks and rivers, ornamented with quaking aspen trees named for how their leaves flutter in the wind. This short lyrical landscape film was an excuse to set one of my longtime favorite musical works (the sunrise passage from Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé) to aerial cinematography, of my favorite place on Earth. Drones aren't permitted in national parks, but under the jurisdiction of the USDA, National Forests do embrace them, and Lamoille Canyon is that rare example of a National Forest crowned with high peaks, jagged terrain, and diverse landscapes rivaling any National Park in the United States.
Besides the musical reason, this worked out to be my first full drone run, testing the new DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0, while also something to give my Dad on Father's Day. Filmed on May 26 & 28, edited on June 11-12, 2018, in UHD-4k resolution.

The Ruby Mountains in Elko, Nevada, Ruby Lake and the Last Chance Ranch June 2004
My first journey around the Ruby Mountains in June 2004! Includes Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge, the Humboldt River and the Last Chance Ranch by Spring Creek and Elko, Nevada!
I chatted with a few cowboys in Clover Valley and with a few fishermen at Ruby Lake. I asked them if that was their favorite fishing hole in Elko County and they let me know that this was the best fishing place in the state!
I also saw the Pony Express Route that ran during 1860 and 1861 thru the Humboldt National Forest. I spotted a few antelope and a wild horse!

Unionville NV - Part 1 Conquering The Humboldt Mountains
Our journey to Unionville would began by crossing over the Humboldt Mountain Range which is full of massive peaks that tower above the vast expanses of the Nevadan high desert. This range is home to a few ghost towns such as Star City and Rochester. During the winter the range stays snow covered and summers can be harsh here. Everything from black bear, antelope and wolves are found here. Their are also cattle that roam the range and some footage of beautiful wild horses with their young. We welcome our viewers to enjoy the Humboldt Valley, picturesque views, creeks, various peaks such as Thunder Mountain and Star Peak as we journey over the range then parallel along it as we seek out the remote hamlet of Unionville Nevada. Back in the day these various dirt roads were used by stage coaches, ox wagon and early pioneers who ventured to various mining camps. Today they are explorers dream as when the pavement ends the adventure begins. This vast wilderness has not changed in over a thousand years the Native Americans consider it a very sacred location.

Grantsville Nevada - Part 2 Primitive Humboldt Toiyabe Forest
If you pay very close attention I actually drive right through the ghost town of Grantsville and continue to head up into the Shoneshone Mountain Range. Its very vast here and roads like you see in this clip were once used by pioneers and their wagons as they came to Grantsville to build an empire.You can see that this area beyond the town site is rather forested and a fairly harsh wilderness.

The Humboldt River runs through northern Nevada in the western United States.At approximately 290 miles long it is the third longest river in the Great Basin, after the Bear and Sevier Rivers.It has no outlet to the ocean, but instead empties into the Humboldt Sink.It is the fifth largest river in the United States, in terms of discharge, that does not ultimately reach the ocean, while it is the largest in terms of area drained.

Off in the dust
Miller Creek Allotment, Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, NV Part 1 of 2
On September 14 and 15 Katie Fite and I visited the Miller Creek Allotment on the Mountain City Ranger District of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest to check out the riparian areas there. What we found was just a horrible mess that any land manager should be embarrassed about enough to actually do something about but, as Katie tells me, this has been the situation for the last ten years when she and Jon Marvel toured the area with the Forest Service.
The permittee is the Simplot Corporation, the largest livestock grazing permittee on public lands.
One of the main reasons that the riparian areas suffer so greatly from overgrazing, aside from the fact that cattle just shouldn't be here in the first place, is because the USFS converted the grazing use from sheep to cattle without taking into account the different ways that they use the land. Sheep usually have someone moving them around from one place to another so they tend to utilize the upland areas away from water more. Cattle, on the other hand, tend to want to sit in the shade of the willows and aspen in the riparian areas (wet areas) next to streams and water. When the USFS converted the grazing from sheep to cattle they issued a permit for the same number of Animal Unit Months (AUM's) without considering the difference between the way the two species graze so they essentially vastly overstocked the allotment with cattle.
As a consequence of the overstocking, the riparian areas are heavily grazed and the streams, springs, and seeps are drying out while the riparian soils that hold the water are eroding away to smother the streams below with sediment. The vegetation next to the streams, notably aspen and willows but also other species, is being severely degraded to the point that the ground is beaten to dust or mud mixed with cow flop and the willows and aspen have very little chance to regenerate because the cattle like to eat them.
We visited Miller Creek, Reed Creek, Rain Creek and Willis Creek on this trip. Miller and Reed Creeks are tributaries to the Owyhee River drainage while the other two flow north into the Bruneau River Drainage. These small streams should be capable of supporting redband trout during part of the year, if not year-round, but they have degraded to the point that there was no sign of them in the portions of the creeks that we examined. The Great Basin population of Columbia spotted frogs, which are a candidate species for the Endangered Species Act, should be present here but they were nowhere to be found.
On Reed Creek we found beaver dams but, because of the heavy livestock grazing, the aspens were receding away from the creek because they had no ability to regenerate due to cattle grazing. The willows here were all older and suffered from the same problem. Under ungrazed conditions we would have had great difficulty getting around in the riparian area and likely wouldn't have been able to enter them at all because the vegetation would have been extremely thick.
On the other creeks beavers have disappeared entirely and the willows are almost gone. There was evidence of historic beaver use and the areas where there used to be beaver dams were suffering from headcuts. Many of the larger aspen are still present but regeneration is being suppressed due to cattle grazing of the young shoots.
Headcuts are formed when the vegetation that holds the riparian soils together is beaten down and killed resulting in areas where flowing water cuts and washes away the soils. The headcuts work their way upstream over time to leave a barren rocky substrate that can't support vegetation. This also results in a lower water table allowing sagebrush to grow into meadows. These features were ubiquitous on this allotment and the damage caused by them will take decades to recover. If grazing weren't occurring here the beavers would be more active and the stream banks would be stable with little movement of soils. There would be places for fish to spawn and better habitat for all kinds of species.

Look where you're going with Tour campgrounds and RV Parks around the US with thousands of videos, photos and written reviews. Subscribe to this Youtube Channel or join the club over at the website.
Thomas Canyon Campground near Lamoille Nevada in Lamoille Canyon Recreation area is one of the most unknown amazing places to camp in the United States. A forest service campground (Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest) managed by concessionaire the campground is located several miles up and inside Lamoille Canyon. The canyon is a glacier carved marvel of the natural world that easily rivals Kings Canyon in natural wonder and serenity (we would argue that the location is much prettier than Kings Canyon).
30 miles from Elko and Interstate 80 Thomas Canyon Campground offers 40 primitive campsites situated on 3 loops just off the scenic byway that enters and exits the canyon. A small river flows through the center of the campground and during spring and early summer drowns out unwanted noise with a steady sound of flowing water.
Visitors enjoy fishing Lamoille Creek and exploring many local hiking trails. Only crowded on major holidays Lamoille Canyon is a unique location that should be added to everyone’s must camp list. Located within the Ruby Mountains, a desert island brimming with wildlife, sparkling lakes and streams, wildflower-filled meadows and jagged peaks.
Thomas Canyon Campground has paved roads and camping parking pads. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Pit toilets are located on the loops and water spigots are available also. Camphosts are on site for fee collection, sale of firewood and to manage the campground. Sites range from huge to small and can accommodate anything from tents to larger RVs (although larger RVs will be best served on Loop A only as both B and C have tight turns and narrow lanes).
Advanced reservations are available. Due to the fact that this area is forest service land versus a National Park guests have a lot more freedom to enjoy the surrounding area by foot, bike, atv or snowmobile. The rugged region is relatively close to the town of Elko but all guests should be self sufficient as help is not readily available.
