Description:
Please read my Iron Mountain article in the June Bulletin on page 6: When Is The Best Time To See A Spectacular Wildflower Display On Iron Mountain?
Departs from: Springfield, Winco Parking lot, I-105/Mohawk. 1920 Olympic Street, Springfield. This gives us easy access to get on I-105 or Marcola RD.
The early departure is to avoid the crowds and possibly afternoon hot temperatures. It is an hour drive up Mohawk Valley to Sweet Home where we head east up Highway 20 around 35 miles to Deer Creek Trailhead for the loop hike to Cone Peak Trail and the lookout where we will have lunch. Moderate pace with stops to view the flowers. It is not a flower identification hike nor is it a race. If questions, email me at jbjacobsen@comcast.net. Bathroom stop: east of Sweet Home/Foster Lake Viewpoint. There is also a toilet at Deer Creek parking lot.
