Popular for camping, fishing, and hunting, Diamond Fork Canyon has some rock and a little winter ice climbing as well. Besides abundant wildlife, watch for range cattle and the occasional harmless “Blow Snake”. Keep an eye out for rattlesnakes as well.
Drinking water is available during the summer months at Diamond Campground (click here for reservations).
