Do Peak Twelve on the way, otherwise you'll be like me, having to go all that way to pick up an orphan peak later when you're old like me. Stay on grass a little high, follow game trails and you'll pick up a trail that then takes you down basin. It is not a highway, you still move through a lot of alders, but you won't have to thrash. Look at it on a satellite view and you can discern the way. Ruby is a spectacular basin, have fun!
FYI, Peak Twelve will no longer be a ranked peak if the LiDAR data holds.
