This route involves some route-finding in the snowy woods, but is not terribly strenuous and leads to a small mountain with excellent views of the Stuart Range and Mt Rainier. Beginning at the Blewett Pass Sno-Park, follow the wide road for a quarter of a mile until a ski/snowshoe trail heads left. This trail follows the road for about a mile until veering left up the north slope of Diamond Head and crossing into a valley on its east side. From the top of a broad saddle at about 5,500 feet, follow the ridgeline to the summit of Diamond Head. You may have to scout around a bit for a good viewpoint. On a clear day, Mt Rainier is visible in the distance, as well as the jagged spire of Mt Stuart. A Sno-Park permit is required to park at the trailhead.
