He’s only interested in trails that go into closed areas. Trespassing is his MO! ZEMO? THAT’S IT! HEY ZEMO!

Did this hike from the parking lot to the summit with my friend Mike Carmody. Arrived at the summit around sunset. Beautifull scenery, Tough long hike, but very rewarding, very serene. Descended with headlamps, no one elso on trail. The summit at sunset, with the inland empire blanketed by low clouds,and scattered clouds above made for great pictures.

Hi Thor,

Were you able to find the parking near East Fork ranger station?

After parking in the east fork parking lot, you have to walk ~ 1/2 mile on fire road until you get to Heaton Flat…here is there is an outhouse and on the right you should see a Trail sign indicating distances to Coldwater Saddle. You take this trail up.

Most of the hike is not marked… although I think there is a clear use trail all the way up and back. I would suggest at least having a map and compass just to be safe.

Excelent Post/Pictures.

I drove to this hike yesterday, and after a few hours was unable to locate the origin of the Iron Mountain Hike. I was hoping you could provide me with a few details. Thank you.

1. Is there a marked entrance/parking area to where the trail starts?
2. Is it a marked hike with trail markings, or is GPS mandatory to get back?

Thank you very much for your help. Thor
