In August of 1998 Larry Hinton and family members, hiked up a .9ths of a mile trail from a parking lot to the lookout on top. The lookout is used during summer months. The trail is maintained by Friends of the Iron Mountain Area in cooperation with the Sweet Home Ranger District. Patrick Reardon was working as a summer employee in the lookout at Iron Mountain. View from the lookout looking northeast.
Late summer dries out the forest lands and grass cover.
