What runners say about C Trailhead - Iron Hills Trail System
“Good trail head accessible via a well maintained dirt road which most cars should be able to make in good weather conditions.”
“It is such a great, beautiful trail.”
Good trail head accessible via a well maintained dirt road which most cars should be able to make in good weather conditions. C trail is a fun flowy light black trail with a few loose sections. You can also access the lava trails half way down.
I mountain biked down the C trail after getting shuttled to the top. Super steep, rough in some spots, and not mountain bike specific (lacked berms in some pretty important places). If you bike this, make sure your brakes and great and use a downhill bike if you can.
It is such a great, beautiful trail. I went up and then back down. If you are doing that I highly recommend you bring plenty of water/Gatorade. The view from the top is amazing. I would also recommend you go earlier in the morning, because it came can overbearing hot as the day goes on. Happy hiking, and God Bless!
Great place to walk, cycle, ride scooters! You can opt for the (mostly) flat lower trail, or take the steep route up the the "C." Multiple places to bail and exit onto the city streets make it a good place to gradually increase your endurance, too.

“Fantastic workout with amazing views of Cedar City all the way up to and including the overlook above the "C.”
