caverpilot Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Anyone been up to Diamond Peak via Pioneer Gulch yet (not counting the Feb. TR)this spring? Drive to trailhead? Thanks!! Quote
KirkW Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) I drove to within 200 yards of the junction with 2160 last saturday. The first 1/4 mile of trail was mostly snow free. It's gonna melt out fast. Get some. If you head out there post up if you check out 2149 past the turn off for the south ridge. Curious about access to corigan lake th. Edited May 28, 2011 by KirkW Quote
caverpilot Posted June 7, 2011 Author Posted June 7, 2011 Last weekend, I was able to drive past the junction about 100 yards in an Outback- considering the warmth this week, I'd say the time is prime for Diamond! (No TR, weather turned to rain and taters for 6 hours straight in the am...ugk....although lots of in-tent beer was consumed!) Quote
caverpilot Posted July 5, 2011 Author Posted July 5, 2011 7/3/2011: Road passable to Corrigon Lake trailhead, trail about 50/50 snow/dirt up to the lake, then solid snow but melting out fast! MOSQUITOES OF LEGEND!! BRING GALLONS OF BUG DOPE!!! An old-timer on Diamond Drive at "Bob's Place" told us that he's not seen "skeeters this bad in 30 years!" (He's not kidding! Thick all the way to the base of the mountain.) Trip report coming soon! (The skiing is fantastic!!!) Quote
