White Diamond Trail is a 0.79-mile point-to-point hike in Harriman State Park in New York, managed by State Park and Recreation. The route rises from about 548 feet to 666 feet, with a total elevation gain of 184 feet, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.44 miles in, where the grade reaches 18 percent. The trail is rated moderate. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Wanaque Raymond Dam, New Jersey, show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 76°F, with July the warmest month at about 84°F. That station sits roughly 420 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the trail run a little cooler. The trail starts close to several climbing areas, including Fern Cliff and Godzilla Boulder, both about 0.1 mile away. The 7 Hills Trail and Seven Hills are each about 0.8 mile off.
