Iron Mountain

Trail: Iron Mountain Road, Iron Mountain Trail

Conditions: Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Snow - Unpacked Powder

“light snow and cloudy skies for 52WAV #45. As mentioned, there is minimal parking which is shared with residents so be respectful. I took iron Mtn road in microspikes but snowshoes would have been better, especially since they were necessary once I hit the trailhead. Only 1-2 people had done this hike before me so the trail was loose powder, plus several extra inches since their hike plus the few inches that fell while I hiked. No view from the top but still a great hike.”

“Great hike. Sunny sky with a few clouds. Great views of the surrounding summits from the trailhead field and the ledges. A few inches of snow and some slippery roots heading up the gradual 2021 relocation. Hit the summit and wondered why it's back on the 52WAV list without a view, continuing on to the ledges for a warm, sunny lunch. Some wet/icy melt on the ledges, but generally clear. Went down the .2 and explored the mine as well, which was an interesting diversion, especially with a nine-year-old. Intended to look for the trail to Green Hill and head out that way, but must have walked by it, so we just returned to the trailhead on the main trail. A pleasant and satisfying day.”

“Nice to revisit a place we hadn't been to in years. Kudos to the results of the relocated trail!”
