Location: Diamond Lake Ranger District; Umpqua National Forest, In Umpqua National Forest Diamond Lake Recreation Area on Forest Rd. 2808, SW of Diamond Lake.

  • States: Oregon
  • Counties: Douglas

The trail begins on a flat covered by lodgepole pine. From there you travel through open stands of mountain hemlock and true fir. Timberline is reached about one mile from the summit. The last half mile is quite steep and rocky and may be too difficult for small children.

The volcanic origin of the mountain becomes evident above the timberline with many interesting geological formations. Mt. Thielsen and Diamond Lake are in the foreground with the Cascades in the north and Mt. Shasta in the south (visible on a clear day).

The first two miles are used for cross-country skiing in the winter and mountain biking in the summer.
