Pass Required at the Trailhead

Iron Mountain is located east of Sweet Home, Oregon and is a very popular hike so expect a number of other hikers, especially on a weekend. TH parking may be challenging when it's busy.

There is a new, large observation platform built where the old firetowers used to be. This summit is quite exposed if the wind is blowing.  The vistas are superb with precipitous dropoffs to the south and east. The trail is 2.4 miles RT and 700 feet gain.
