Confirmed from Iron Mountain Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Iron Mountain Trail
I bike a portion of this trail every day as part of my commute (lucky me!) I love it every time. It is the highlight of my day. I go through early I. The morning and I rarely see another soul. When I do come across someone I’ve had very pleasant chats actually.
Easy way to get some exercise in and take the puppy out. This trail has beautiful landscape and it’s close to the city as well. 🌆
Lovely trail! Little remote with only a small amount of parking though. There is a pathed path on the outside you can take and disability parking. Lots of mushrooms too! Just not for picking. Perfect for fall walks!
