I am hoping to get a quick conditions reports from the Diamond Mountain area east of Vernal.
With all of the reports of animals down low and deep snow depths -
I am hoping someone will post how the roads are and how deep the snow is.
Cow Hunt starts this Saturday and any insight would be appreciated.
Much Thanks in advance....

Ass loads of snow and cold as cold gets. I've been out in the tridell and vernal areas and everywhere between the past few weekends and BRRR! The lower levels have been holding anywhere between 6-24" of snow. Average temps in the valleys have been 5-10 below in the morn with afternoons around 5. Good luck out there!

If your hunt is for the diamond mountain unit I wouldn't even try to access the top of the mountain, that mountain shuts down in a normal year, I'm sure you couldn't get off the pavement without a snowmobile this year. Your best bet is going to be down in the bottom between the rim and the monument. Lots of elk come down into island park, just becareful and know where the boundries of the monument are.
Jack's right though I was out there around New Years and -5 was the highest temp I saw in three days and there was well over a foot of snow on my grandmothers lawn.

Thanks OEJ & Fairwayphilly, I have hunted the Daimand mountion area by Matt Warner Reservior & Caulder Reservoir and know that area pretty well.
We are going in on snowmobiles and hunting the valley's betweem Matt Warner and Caulder reservoirs. The DWR said that some elk are stranded up in there and most have gone lower to the island park area.
I have seen on Earth Google where the Island Park road is located and that North of the road to the rim does look like a good area.
Could you please tell me the best way to access the Island park road? And any other tips you would like to share with a fellow Lund owner. Thanks!!!
