This trail is in dire need of some professional attention (reconstruction?) The bulk of the initial climb up Iron is an eroded piece of crap. Established herd paths around the worst spots. Eventually it levels out and it is not bad. Many blowdowns as well, with a few herd paths around the major ones. Pretty clear this trail gets little to no love at all. Views from the south ledges today were fantastic. What a cool spot. Didn't venture down to the mine remains, no time today, so next time. |
