Diamond Head & Lava Flow Areas

The Diamond Head region is a mix of private and crown lands and offers unparalleled riding quality. It can be characterized by its mammoth yet incredibly well-constructed climbs and extended descents. Squamish classics such as Full and Half Nelson boast some of the smoothest flow in town, while more technical descents such as Grin & Holler or Angry M. offer a thrill for even the most experienced rider.

Access to the region is via the Garibaldi Park Road beginning past Quest University. The first parking lot is 300m along the dirt road, and the second lot is located at the second switchback on the road.

If driving to the trailhead or shuttling its important to note that although it's a dirt road, it is legally a highway thus is closely monitored by authorities and its upper and lower residents.  Drivers are encouraged to mind their speed on the road up, and avoid parking on the road at all costs. Once parked, be sure not to mingle on the road or ride more than one abreast up the road. There are residents that live further up the road, and we would like to maintain a friendly relationship with them by not blocking access to their homes. Driving up the Ring Creek FSR is prohibited, please park and ride from one of the two lots instead.
