Mario Larsen+Follow Iron Peak Hike MagicSan Diego’s favorite trail—Iron Mountain leads to Poway’s second-highest peak, with sweeping North County views. On clear days, spot Mt. Woodson and Catalina Islands. Start at Poway Rd & CA-67: no shade, so pack H2O and sunscreen. Begins flat, then turns rocky and steep—wear sturdy boots. Passes Ellis Trail, twists up to the summit. Connects to Wildwood Mountain & Ellis routes. Reward? Panoramic vistas that scream “worth it.” #Outdoor#Hiking#IronMountainTrail #SanDiegoHikes#BoulderOakPreserve110Share
