Lamoille to Talbot is an out-and-back hike of about 8 miles in the Mountain City-Ruby Mountains-Jarbidge Ranger District of Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in Nevada. The trail rises from 7,262 feet to 9,943 feet, giving it a total elevation gain of about 2,350 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is a natural-surface route, not one for bikes. It is a hard hike, and the climb is spread across the full length of the route. The hike is open year-round, and Lions Camp lies less than a mile away, with Right Fork Lamoille and Lamoille Canyon close by as well. Thomas Canyon Campground is about 2 miles off and offers a place to stay.
