You should count on this hike taking about 9 hours, but of course some people walk a bit slower and some a bit faster. This backpacking trail has two trailheads which means you have the option of hiking it one way if you have someone to pick you up at the other end. There's not much difference in elevation along the wilderness hiking trail, so you won’t have to worry about different climate zones along your backcountry hike. Diamond Peak Trail is 10.4 miles long; it's longer than many wilderness hiking trails. Now this great outdoors trail is pretty long, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. This region does get very dry sometimes, so do check for current fire restrictions before you go if you plan to bring a stove or make a camp fire. Diamond Peak Trail has a total elevation difference of 1,462 feet, and that is about average.
