Hike Diamond Mountain Circular
June 29 @ 8:00 am - 3:00 pm
June 29th Diamond Mountain Circular
Starting at camp we will make our way along camp road toward 7 lakes drive which we will cross to access the “Tuxedo Mt Ivy Trail”.
We will only stay for a short distance on the TMI before we turn right onto the “Stony Brook Trail” and then left onto the orange “Hilburn Torne Sebago Trail”.
Soon as the ascent starts, we will definitely get a workout. After 0.6 miles the trail merges with the “Seven Hills Trail” and we will be rewarded with a gorgeous view of our very own base- Lake Sebago.
After another 0.2 miles we’ve reached the summit of Diamond Mountain (1240 ft).
At this point we will follow the blue “Seven Hills Trail” for about 0.7 miles with several great vistas along the way before descending and making a right onto the “Kakiat Trail”. This is a rather steep descent that requires rock scrambling skills.
After 0.6 miles on the “Kakiat Trail” we will make a right onto the “Stony Brook Trail”. After a relatively flat 1.4 miles we’ll be back at 7 lakes drive and return to camp where we will be greeted with well deserved warm chilli.
This hike includes a steeper ascent, some rock scrambling and the pace will be a little faster than on some of the other hikes
Distance: Approx. 5 miles (qualifying)
Approx. total ascent 632 ft.
Participants need to wear sturdy footwear and bring snacks, rain gear and a sufficient amount of water. Hiking poles are recommend.
