Ruybalid is a moderate loop hike of about 5 miles in the Conejos Peak Ranger District of Rio Grande National Forest in Colorado, managed by the Forest Service. The trail rises from a low point of about 8,829 feet to a high of about 11,190 feet, with a total elevation gain of about 2,050 feet. The route is a loop, and the trail surface is natural. Horses are allowed, so the hike works for riders as well as hikers. Conejos Campground and Spectacle Lake Campground both sit within about a mile and a half, and No Name Lake is less than a mile away. For more time on foot, the ALVERJONES CUTOFF lies about 1.6 miles off.
