Diamond 1 is a 2.9-mile out-and-back hike in Nevada's Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, within the Mountain City-Ruby Mountains-Jarbidge Ranger District. The route climbs 794 feet from a low point of 6,444 feet to a high point of 7,252 feet, and the Forest Service manages the land. It is a hard hike, and the climb adds up to about 800 feet of elevation gain over roughly 3 miles. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from the nearby Jarbidge weather station, which sits about 1,100 feet lower, run from highs near 83°F in July to around 73°F in September. Expect cooler temperatures on the summit. The Bruneau River, about 3.7 miles away, offers canoeing. Hikers can also pick up the Buck Loop and Buck 1 Trail within about 4.5 miles.
