Iron Mountain, Mountain summit in Lake Wales, Florida, US.
Iron Mountain rises 295 feet above sea level, featuring red-brown soil containing hematite that oxidizes when exposed to air.

The summit houses Bok Tower Gardens, spanning fifty acres where visitors can explore formal gardens and natural Florida habitats.
Several informal paths lead to the peak, allowing visitors to observe local wildlife and native plant species throughout their ascent.
