Trip
Day Hike - Iron Bear
Because of this route's high trailhead, much of your elevation gain is done before you start walking, meaning you can enjoy a high ridge route with relatively modest effort. The trail rambles along the ridge, rolling up and down with wildflowers underfoot and views stretching for hundreds of miles--as far south as Mount Rainier and north to Mount Stuart. The big rock of Diamond Head stands to the east.
