Ruby Creek
By one account the creek was named after the wife of a 19th century miner. Another story says it was for one of the red gems found by prospectors among the stones in the creek.
Ruby creek is born from the waters of Granite Creek from Rainy Pass on the Cascade crest and Canyon Creek flowing from deep in the Pasayten Wilderness.
