Diamond T Loop Trail Description
The Diamond T Loop trail is part of an extensive trail system used by bikers, hikers, runners, and walkers. Many of these trails are used in the winter by nordic skiers and fat bikers. From the parking lot, start the trail by taking the option on the left, which will complete the loop in a clockwise direction. This is the best way to make the most out of the clearings and enjoy the main viewpoint. The main viewpoint is 0.7mi into the trail when hiking clockwise and offers incredible views of the area. Continue on to complete the full loop back to the parking area.
