Iron Mountain, Mountain summit in Larimer County and Jackson County, United States
Iron Mountain reaches an elevation of 12,270 feet in the Never Summer Mountains, featuring steep slopes and exposed rock formations along its ridgeline.
The mountain has served as a natural boundary marker between State Forest State Park and Roosevelt National Forest since the establishment of protected lands in Colorado.
Local Native American tribes recognized this peak as a significant geographical marker for seasonal migrations through the Never Summer Mountains region.
Hikers accessing Iron Mountain should begin their journey early in the morning to avoid afternoon thunderstorms common during summer months.
The mountain creates a natural drainage divide between two counties while maintaining the third-highest elevation point within State Forest State Park.
