 | Comments: |
Other than some mud between the fields at the bottom, the Iron Mountain Trail was fairly dry up to the summit. Beyond the summit, heading to the mines and cliffs, there were some wet ledges. Lots of blowdowns. Cliffs were well worth the extra .75 mile hike, but didn't get much out of the additional extra hike down to the old mine. |
