Weeks Loop is a short, out-and-back hike of about a mile in the Mountain City-Ruby Mountains-Jarbidge Ranger District of Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in northeastern Nevada. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail rises about 80 feet from a low point of 7,051 feet to a high of 7,212 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 84°F with lows near 50°F, while winter highs stay in the mid-30s. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the loop run cooler. Steele Lake and Winchell Lake are both about a mile away, and Boulder Lake is about 3.4 miles off. For an overnight stay, Angel Lake Campground is about 5.9 miles away.
