Review:
Iron Mountain is the peak of a small mountain between the city of Poway and the community of Ramona, and is one of San Diego’s the most popular hikes. The main trail is 5.3 miles long and well marked, but with the elevation gain of almost 1,000 feet and some rough steep sections, it can be challenging. The main trail starts just off Highway 67 and goes straight through a beautiful tunnel of trees. After that, the trail is mostly exposed and climbs gradually. Flat parts of the trail alternate with sections that are rough and steep. The view is beautiful all along the way and you will meet lot of hikers; it is not a place for solitude.
