Diamond Lake

One of my favorite July hikes. Moderately challenging, 5 mile out and back with beautiful views, abundant wild flowers and a mountain lake. Please be prepared for water crossings (poles and waterproof boots).

The trailhead is about 30 mins from Nederland up a dirt road (expect rocks and large potholes).

I am not a trained wilderness guide, hike at your own risk.

Attending this hike means that you agree to take full responsibility for your safety in the wilderness: you have reviewed the trail map and have a copy on your personal device; you have familiarized yourself with local hiking safety precautions including how to handle weather changes, wildfire and wild life encounters; you will bring all supplies needed to complete the hike safely, as if you are hiking alone.
