About
Ruby Guard Station Rental is a historic Forest Service structure located in the Ruby Mountains area of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in Elko County, Nevada. Guard stations were historically used to house Forest Service personnel managing the surrounding national forest lands. Today, many of these historic buildings are available for public rental, providing a unique camping experience that combines rustic charm with the opportunity to stay in an authentic piece of Forest Service history. The Ruby Mountains area is known for its spectacular scenery, rising dramatically from the high desert floor to elevations exceeding 11,000 feet at Ruby Dome. The region offers diverse recreational opportunities including hiking, wildlife viewing, fishing, and backcountry exploration. The area is sometimes called the "Swiss Alps of Nevada" due to its glacially carved peaks and alpine lakes. Rentals of guard stations typically provide basic shelter with historical character, though amenities and available seasons vary by facility. The remote location offers solitude and a chance to experience the national forest in a distinctive way.
