Diamond Peak, Oregon

We were getting to reach to the false summit now at Diamond Peak. We won't see the real summit until you get to the false one. :-) (2018-09-09). Photo by Tomoko Nakajima. Click here for larger-size photo.

Going north on road 2160, this is the view of Diamond Peak. This is in the Pioneer Gulch area, about a half-mile north of the Diamond Rockpile trailhead. (2018-07-08). Photo by Ted Glick. Click here for larger-size photo.

Looking west across Marie Lake from its east end. This is at the base of Diamond Rockpile (north side) (2018-07-08). Photo by Ted Glick. Click here for larger-size photo.

The small, unnamed lake (large pond?) north of Marie Lake on my preferred bushwhack route to the climber's trail (2018-07-08). Photo by Ted Glick. Click here for larger-size photo.

From a July 2016 hike: Looking south from just 100 feet or so west of the summit. Good view of the south ridge climber's trail to the false summit (2016-07-03). Photo by Ted Glick. Click here for larger-size photo.

From a July 2016 hike: Looking south from the climber's trail just a few hundred feet above the junction with the PCT. Summit Lake is visible along with a number of peaks. L to R the big ones are Cowhorn Mountain, Sawtooth Mountain, Howlock Mountain, Mount Thielsen and Bailey Peak (2016-07-03). Photo by Ted Glick. Click here for larger-size photo.

Bad selfie, sorry, but it's the only summit pic I have. That's it over my shoulder there. Pretty barren with a yellow Pelican box summit register. (2018-07-08). Photo by Ted Glick. Click here for larger-size photo.

From a 2016 hike with experimental routing. I took the PCT from Rockpile lake, which I don't usually do. Compare to my TR's GPS track and you can see how circuitous this is. Then I descended via the southwest ridge, trying to bushwhack down to the Diamond Peak trail to take it back south to the Rockpile trail. Never found the DP trail and ended up bushwhacking all the way back down to the Rockpile trail. Do-able but not recommended. (2018-07-08). Photo by Ted Glick. Click here for larger-size photo.
