Hidden Lakes is an easy out-and-back hike in Nevada's Ruby Mountains Wilderness, part of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest's Mountain City-Ruby Mountains-Jarbidge Ranger District. The trail is about 2.3 miles long, with a one-way elevation gain of 452 feet, and it runs on natural surface. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is open year-round. The hike starts at a low point of about 9,093 feet and climbs to a high point of about 9,552 feet. Horses are allowed, and bikes are not. That makes it a straightforward walk for anyone heading into the backcountry on foot or with a horse.
