Overview

This is a moderately hard loop trail that will take you to the top of Iron Mountain. From the top you'll have sweeping views of the 3 sisters and in late June/early July you'll get to see beautiful wild flowers blooming.

Getting Started

The trail head is right off of HWY 20 at Tomb Stone Pass. If you are wanting to attempt a hike in the winter you will need a snow park pass.

Taking Children

This would be a good trail for adventurous teens. The elevations gains do not make this a good trail for children. You can however drive to the top of Iron Mountain and there is a good platform for view that is child friendly. Dogs are also allowed on this trail.

    This is a must if you like flowers. Every color in the rainbow is with you along most of the trail. The side trail to the lookout is steep and hard, but worth the effort with 360 degree views of the mountains.

    Hiked this trail mid June. The trail is in great condition with just a couple logs to get around/under, a couple muddy sections from snow melt nothing major to get through. The wildflowers are blooming now and are a beautiful site, you cannot go wrong hiking this trail with the meadows, the surrounding Mtn views and the views from atop Iron Mtn are all incredible.
