“Wake up…we are going for a hike!” Were the first words I heard on Saturday morning. As I woke up from my dreamy fog I realized this was not a dream, it was 6:30 AM, Saturday morning, and we were going for a hike. Little did I know we were about to do a 6 mile, uphill, hike to Iron Mountain. I assumed that it was going to be an easy 30 minute walk.

I was in for a surprise. When we got back to the car we saw we had taken 3 hours to hike to the top of the mountain and back. Remember you need lots of water (there are picnic benches at the top if you’d like to bring lunch). We took a long rest at the top of Iron Mountain, it was packed with hikers and there was so much to see from this little 50 x 50 ft. piece of land, it was unbelievable. The high air currents helped carry us down the mountain and it was a wonderful way to start out our weekend.
