Description
When you begin, you are in dirt, but are quickly into rocky ground. It is all uphill going to the top of Iron Mountain. In the spring, there are many wildflowers and running streams. Once at the top, you have a view of the Pacific Ocean, all of San Diego, and into Mexico. Some benevolent group has placed a free telescope at the peak to see distant points.
To extend the hike, start at the Ellie Lane trailhead. Maps have been placed in a small shelter.

Directions to Hike
This is in the San Diego area. Go north from Lakeside on Hwy 67 or east on Poway Rd. to Hwy 67 from I-15. The first trail start is at the Junction. Ellie Lane trailhead is
about 1.0 mile north of the junction.

Contact Information
No contact necessary. The area has been set
aside as wilderness/nature preserve.
