One advantage of the Diamond Peak region is that it tends to get less snow than other areas around the lake, so it’s often climbable when other spots are covered in snow. Given the sprawling nature of this area, I've divided it into several sections to make navigating it easier. The majority of the areas can be accessed from the Diamond Peak Ski Resort parking lot, but a few sections require parking up on Mount Rose. For each section, specific driving directions and approach information can be found at the start of the individual subsections.
