Ruby Falls
The run
Trail report
Ruby Falls is a bucket-list trail for many off-roaders in the region. The route follows the upper reaches of the McLeod River.
You will cross the river over a dozen times. Depending on water levels, these crossings can be treacherous and require a snorkel and raised breathers.
The trail ends with a short hike to Ruby Falls itself, a beautiful multi-tiered cascade. The mud and technical rock steps along the way will put your suspension to the test.
