Table of contents

Iron Peak Trail #1399 is a trail that allows you to just focus on the views without needing to check your map as you go. This 6.4mi trail is moderately difficult and is a pure exercise in switchbacks, with little shade offered on hot days. You can see mountain views almost the entire way, though! Expect light traffic on this hike.

Route Description for Iron Peak Trail

Iron Peak Trail offers views the entire way to the scenic peak, but that just means you’ll need to come prepared for an unshaded hike that’s consistently steep. This is a lightly trafficked trail despite its nice views, so enjoy it on a weekend to get away from the crowds elsewhere.

The trail starts from the road, and it’s very easy to follow. You’ll climb roughly 50 switchbacks, so settle in and just trek along, admiring the expanding mountain views. There’s a junction on the last switchback where you’ll go right to traverse the ridge to Iron Peak. From here, retrace your steps back down to the trailhead.

Getting to the Iron Peak Trail Trailhead

The trailhead for the Iron Peak Trail is on N Fork Teanaway Road.
