Iron Mountain, Mountain summit in Iron County, Utah, United States.
Iron Mountain rises to an elevation of 7,831 feet with a prominence of 1,421 feet, standing as a defining feature in southern Iron County.
The mountain became central to Utah's industrial development in the 1850s when Mormon pioneers, led by Brigham Young, established iron mining operations.
The mountain's extensive iron deposits shaped the regional identity, leading to the establishment of Iron Mission State Park in Cedar City to preserve mining heritage.
Hiking trails of varying difficulties lead to the summit, requiring sturdy footwear and sufficient water supplies due to rapid weather changes at higher elevations.
The mountain contains deposits of 24 different minerals, including actinolite, azurite, cinnabar, and mimetite, making it significant for geological research.
