Comments:

My wife, son and I hiked up to Little Ruby Lake via the Fern Creek Trail.  It is all-up (3.75 miles) and you gain almost 2,000 ft of elevation topping out around 11,250 ft, so it's a good workout.  Apparently there was a big fire in this area back in 2013, so there are a lot of deadfall/blowdowns. We must have had to go over/under/around 30-40 of them, making the hike somewhat of an obstacle course.
