This is a great hike and has at least 2 loops that can be done be done. I like parking at ellie ln. just north on 67 one street and taking the more difficult trail. You just stay north until your on the top of the ridge then you can loop to the ramona lookout and iron summit to the parking lot shown on this page.

If you’re going from the common parking lot, just after you cross the creek, there is a trail. It is hard to see and starts out only a foot and a half wide. It is probably 50 ft past the creek on the left hand side. This trail is a short trail to the top of the ride where they used to do iron surface mining. It is not a well kept trail but great view and nice if you have already done the normal routes. The trail is not well kept and is a quart to half mile. Very steep.
