Hike #21: Iron Mountain #3, San Gabriel Mountains (Angeles NF), CA

Visit Date: 3/27/21

Hiking Iron Mountain #3, San Gabriel Mountains (Angeles National Forest), CA.

There are some more serious loop options from Monte Cristo Campground. However, since I had already been to Granite and Rountop Mountain, I opted for the lower loop to include the two other HPS summits, Iron & Rabbit. About halfway through the hike, I decided to do Rabbit Peak on its own day and just concentrate on Iron Mountain. In the process, I climbed Monte Cristo Peak and Peak 4546, where I created a smaller loop than planned. I would hate to be out here in the summer, since there is no shade, so early spring turned out to be the perfect time. By the way, Iron Mountain is known as "Iron Mountain #3" since it is the third highest of the three named "Iron Mountain"(s) in the San Gabriel Mountains.
