    Tips

    July 21, 2023

    Diorite Peak (12,761 feet) is one of the most central mountains in the La Platas. The mountain is usually approached via a rocky logging road that ends in the midst of a bunch of switchbacks climbing up the southern face of the mountain. The trail is mainly class 1, but it is super steep in sections. You can truly see the entire La Plata Mountain Range from the top of this mountain.
