Iron Mountain 16 June 2012

I wanted to get an early start to the season on Iron Mountain.  The snow had recently melted and could still be found in patches in the meadows near Cone Peak.  It was heavy the entire last bit of the trail up to the top of Iron Mtn.  Crossed it anyway.  The trilliums were out in full force, blanketing the forest floor.  Saw two other couples on this hike.

This is the difficult snow...I forgot to take any other photos because of concentrating.
