红宝石峡自然公园是一个偏远的公园，位于东麦克唐奈山脉的远东边缘。
它距离爱丽斯泉 150 公里，是 1886 年在河床中发现“红宝石”后澳大利亚中部的第一次采矿热潮。
如今，Ruby Gap 是露营和丛林徒步的热门场所。大部分地形极其崎岖，只适合经验丰富且准备充分的步行者。沿着河床和小径向上游前往格伦安妮峡谷。
1886 年，探险家大卫·林赛在黑尔河的沙床上发现了他认为是红宝石的东西。紧随其后的是来自欧洲的买家抢购它们。由于市场泛滥，所发现的红宝石的质量受到质疑，18 个月后，人们发现这些宝石只是高级石榴石。澳大利亚中部的红宝石热潮迅速瓦解。
通过 Arltunga 历史保护区可以进入这个人迹罕至且偏远的公园。高净空四轮驱动车是必不可少的，但值得为此付出努力。公园里有几个露营地。需要支付露营费用，并且必须在抵达前在线预订露营地。
