Description:
We will check out the wild flowers and briefly note some of the fascinating volcanic and glacial geology. We will hike at a moderate pace with plenty of stops for water, snacks and photography. We will be hiking counter-clockwise on the loop. Be prepared for possible patches of snow in the saddle between Iron Mountain and Cone Peak. If we encounter snow, hiking poles (at least one) can be helpful. Participants have the option of climbing the switchbacks up to the summit or having lunch at the west side trail junction. We will need at least 3 drivers.
