Diamond Days

A photo essay of our trip to Diamond on Sunday the 16th..... Did not summit, as we were there for the snowboarding only! Well maybe for the exercise too. And the views...yeah, the views!

Apologies for the excessive use of photos....

Snowboarding in May!

The peaks....they were awesome!

Sorry about the excessive amount of photos....but dang....it was so beautiful up there.

The landscape was big. Huge would be a better word I suppose. Lonesome. Yes, that describes it also.

The snow, once we found it, was like....hmmm, well it was like powdered sugar frosting. Tate described it like creamy peanut butter. Regardless of what it was, it put big smiles on our faces.

It was about a 7 mile round trip hike, with lots of ups and downs. "you got to be $*#@% me" was heard more than once or twice. The area between Rocky Canyon and Meadow Canyon is "just messed up" according to Tate. Still, we had a blast!
