The mountain can be tackled from a couple different trailheads and is located at the end of a forest service road (the road is closed to motor vehicles). There are great views of the La Plata Mountains from the summit.

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.

Cumberland Mountain is a 12,388-foot peak in the most northern section of the La Plata Mountains. The approaches to the summit aren't very long, but the trailheads are remote and help to make this peak vacant on a regular basis. The summit is just off of the Colorado Trail and looks southward through the heart of La Plata Canyon.
