Iron Mountain, Mountain summit in Camas County, United States.
Iron Mountain reaches an elevation of 9,694 feet, featuring dry southern slopes leading to Camas Prairie and steeper northern slopes covered with pine trees.
The Forest Service constructed a fire lookout tower at the summit, marked by remaining concrete foundations that indicate previous structural presence.
The mountain serves as a natural boundary between the developed Camas Prairie region and the remote wilderness of the Sawtooth National Forest.
Access to Iron Mountain requires a two-hour drive from Boise to Bighorn Campground, followed by a 9.1-mile hike with 6,005 feet elevation gain.
Heart Lake, positioned at 8,346 feet just north of the summit, represents one of the few alpine lakes in the Boise Mountains region.
