Day Hike - Iron Mountain & Cone Peak Loops

There will be optional Camping at House Rock Campground 15 min away on Tuesday night June 18th. I have a reserved site and will be arriving at the campground around 7pm.

We will begin hiking at 11am due to this location being a little over 4 hours from Olympia. If all participants camp the night before we will start hiking earlier.

This loop hike starts and ends at Tombstone Pass. To get there take Hwy 20 in Oregon east of Sweet Home 36 miles (or west of Santiam Pass 13 miles). Tombstone Pass is between mileposts 63 and 64.

*Leaders Permission Required* I will expect that you have done a  5+ mile hike with at least 1000 ft gain in the last year and that you will be willing to be patient with others and slow things down on the steep sections. I am setting this hike as Leaders Permission Required due to the distance from Olympia and optional camping to communicate about camping or travel time  required.

I will not do this hike in rainy or icy conditions. If the forecast is calling for a lot of rain I will adjust our route to a similar distance closer to Olympia.
