A national forest scenic byway runs about 12 miles up a U-shaped glacial canyon in the Ruby Mountains, ending at Road's End trailhead at 8,800 feet. Thomas Canyon Campground is on the way, and Lamoille Lake sits above the trailhead. It is most reliable in summer and autumn, as snow closes the upper road in winter.
