Diamond Lake Trail

Cameron, Steve, and I went to
Diamond Lake Trail last night and spent the night in our awesomely huge tent!! Let me just tell you, we got to Nederland, CO and we got kinda lost, we couldn't find this really large county road 130, so we stopped and asked for directions. Well, you would think anyone could find this road (it'd be like Hefner Parkway or something of the sort). This guy was like ...'well, go this way then that way then turn left onto Caribou Road and go on that for 1/4 mile and it will turn into 130'. He seemed a little odd, but we listened to him. So 20 minutes on Caribou (which was a dirt bumpy as crap road) later, we run into what cameron and steve have turned into Ma and Pa ghetto. They were really just hippies, but for our story pretend they are no teethed overall wearing hick-o's that havent left this mountain in 6 years. Ma and Pa tell us well they havent been up here in 6 years, so at the top it might turn into 130, but youll never make it in that (refering to the Pasat). I don't know how, but we finally make it to 130 (nowhere near Freaking Caribou). We make it to the campsite, set up camp, cook, and drink. We had a keg from this wedding last weekend that we cracked open. It was pretty awesome.
Cameron didn't have a sleeping bag, and basically froze to death, but after we got up an moving he was okay. Schnooze came with us and was rocking it up the mountain. It was about a 2 hour hike up. We ran into some amazing waterfalls and beautiful flowers. It was gorgeous, until it started raining. We were down the mountain in about another hour and decided to eat in the fun little town of Nederland. I had some awesome mac and cheese and coffee to warm me up (it was brrr cold). We finally made it back to Denver, and we might hang out with Kate (my friend from work) tonight!!!! When you all come to visit.... Diamond Lake is the place to go!
