| Diamond Lake Trail Album |
| On 06/18/08 we only went 2.1 miles as we encountered heavy snow-over 10 feet deep. With scrapped legs from breaking through the snow we cut the hike short at 2.1 miles and did not reach the lake. This album next covers a hike to Diamond Lake on 11/15/2016 and another on 7/03/2018. |
