52 Hike Challenge 2016 Adventure Series
5.5 miles | +1100'
Iron Mountain is the southernmost peak in a small mountain
complex that divides the city of Poway from the sprawling semi-rural community
of Ramona. The peak itself is one of the most popular hikes in San Diego, and
the ease of access and moderate gain present a hike that is both reasonably
accessible and reasonably challenging at the same time. Throw in great
panoramic views, and you have a great hiking experience within reasonable
driving distances of most of San Diego.
I was able to tag along with a local hiking group for a
sunset/night hike for this one. It's been quite a while since I've been on a
night hike and this one didn't disappoint. I may have enjoyed a few tequila
shots at the summit. There were also plenty of critters out and about. I think
I'd like to get a group together for a similar trek up Cuyamaca Peak... I'll bring
the summit beers!
