紅寶石峽自然公園是一個偏遠的公園，位於東麥克唐奈山脈的遠東邊緣。
它距離愛麗斯泉 150 公里，是 1886 年在河床中發現“紅寶石”後澳大利亞中部的第一次採礦熱潮。
如今，Ruby Gap 是露營和叢林徒步的熱門場所。大部分地形極其崎嶇，只適合經驗豐富且準備充分的步行者。沿著河床和小徑向上游前往格倫安妮峽谷。
1886 年，探險家大衛·林賽在黑爾河的沙床上發現了他認為是紅寶石的東西。緊隨其後的是來自歐洲的買家搶購它們。隨著市場氾濫，發現的紅寶石質量受到質疑，18 個月後，人們發現這些寶石只是高級石榴石。澳大利亞中部的紅寶石熱潮迅速瓦解。
通過 Arltunga 歷史保護區可以進入這個人跡罕至且偏遠的公園。高淨空四輪驅動車是必不可少的，但值得為此付出努力。公園裡有幾個露營地。需要支付露營費用，並且必須在抵達前在線預訂露營地。
