Iron Mountain is located in Unicoi County, Tennessee, just outside of Erwin and only 10 miles from Johnson City.  Iron tops out at 3715 feet and while it is the smallest mountain profiled on this site it is unique in its own right, challenging, and fun to climb.

 
This climb's route begins in Erwin's Fishery Park and meanders along the valley bed and into Limestone Cove.  As you ride past the Limestone Cove Recreation Area and through the cove itself you are gently gaining elevation, and as you approach the mountain and enter the Cherokee National Forest the sounds and smells of the mountain air fuel you to the top.
