Meeting place and time

Plan to meet at the Iron Peak trailhead at 9:30am.

Since there is no restroom at the TH, plan to stop at Beverly creek C.G. or another site along the North fork of the Teanaway road before arriving at the trailhead.

No parking pass is required.

Leader's notes

Since this is a naturalist trip, you may wish to bring binoculars or a loupe (for closer flower identification). Poles can be useful on the trail. Bring pleanty of water for possible sunny weather (we are on a ridgeline with the creeks far below) and have clothing layers and raingear.

An email update will be sent a few days before the trip.
