These photos will provide a glimpse into the unique aspects of the Iron Mountain climb.  The ride begins in Erwin's Fishery Park, proceeds through the valley into Limestone Cove, and continues into Cherokee National Forrest and up the mountain.  This challenging climb's final miles are full of twists and turns - twenty turns in the final 1.6 miles!- and concludes at a top elevation of 3715.   

The ride begins in Fishery Park.
 



The rides meanders through the valley providing a little rest before the work.
