I am writing this to help others determine if this is a manageable activity. I am a fit adult that does not typically hike.
A few tips: do this hike early in the morning or in the winter. We arrived at 8am and had a very pleasant uphill climb. By 10am, it was warm and I was glad we were heading back.
The climb to the summit will be about 1.5 hours. The first mile is fairly flat and easy. The next two miles are uphill and have a lot of rocks that you need to climb. If you are not fit, it is still doable but think about climbing strait up on a hill for an hour. If you are fairly fit, it is no issue at all. Wear shoes with good tread.
The way down is challenging as you have to navigate rocks and switchbacks but should be no issue if you have hiked before and already exercise regularly.
Overall, this hike took us three hours with 15 mins to rest at the summit. The weather was perfectly overcast early in the morning and there weren’t many hikers on a weekday. I loved the hike and would recommend it if an intermediate hike is something you have done before. If you are a beginner, try Torrey Pines first. This is much more challenging.
Also, the bathroom at the bottom of the summit is gross and there is no water so bring your own.

We're slowly getting back into our hiking groove, carefully navigating a post-pandemic great outdoors. This was our first time hiking Iron Mountain, and we're now fans of this spot.
The beautiful and welcoming tree tunnel really sets the mood, welcoming you in before opening up to the trails. And goodness, that tree tunnel is absolutely a blessing on your way back to the parking lot, offering respite from the sun, dropping the temperature by a good 10 degrees.
We arrived a bit later than planned, as our morning started with a lot more lazing-in-bed than prepping-to-hike, but it worked out, because we were able to find parking in the dirt lot. We set out at around 11:30 am, which isn't smart on most days, but this particular Saturday in April was cool and a bit overcast, which helped a ton.
There's a lot of good signage along the trails, which helps those who get lost easily...or frequently. It was also nice to see that the rescue team was on hand, buzzing the trails in the bright yellow helicopter, keeping an eye out for anyone in distress.
The trails did get a bit tight - it's a popular spot - but for the most part, people were respectful and tried to keep as much distance as possible. There were a fair number of mask-less hikers out, but that's not the trail's fault. You get those people everywhere.
We didn't spend as much time at the top as I would've liked - it was quite packed up there and we could see more people making their way to the summit, but it is quite pretty there. We were at least able to catch our breath and take a few pictures before making our way back down.
I imagine we'll be heading back to Iron Mountain for another hike later this year, but we're also eager to explore some of our city's other trails, first. I am glad that we smothered ourselves in sunblock and had 64 ounces of water on us. There's not much shade on those open dirt trails.

Three of us, all in our mid 60s or early 70s, hiked Iron Mountain yesterday. Great Hike! Great views! Area at top has a telescope and two picnic tables.
Lots of super polite people on the trail, all offering encouragement along the way. First part is relatively flat on wide dirt trails, then it starts uphill. Uphill trek is wide enough for two people walking side by side. The trail has lots of boulders to navigate. Parts of the upper trail area are very rocky with some slippery
If you go, suggest good hiking boots and a walking stick to help navigate all the rocks, especially useful going downhill.
1081' elevation gain. 5.6 miles total, round trip. Took us 4 hours, including a rest stop at the top. There was cell phone coverage the whole way.

Another cardio pumping hike in the Poway hills. At around five miles round trip it is still a great workout. Not quite as challenging as the Woodson Trail but close. The route is twisty and has some loose rocky portions making it a bit slippery in both directions. Just take your time and pay attention to the conditions. Nothing to freak out about. Do watch out for snakes. They sometimes like to sun themselves on the trail. Again, just be aware and keep an eye out. Take plenty of water.

Great upward hike up the mountain. Moderate exertion. Great view at the to of the hills and valleys of Poway. Free parking at the base. Easy to get to off highway 67.

My wife, teenagers and I have done many hikes up Iron Mountain. It's a intermediate trip to the top, but you can turn around any time and head back if it's hot or you're not feeling the love. Most days the views are very nice, mornings or after 2:00 are the best times to begin. Be aware there's no shade anywhere, so sunburn cautions, and bring water. Most days the trail has a mix of young couples, casual hikers, small families, dog lovers, and older people in fit condition. A little too challenging for kids under 7 yrs. to hike up to the top.

Wonderful, challenging, but doable hike that’s rewarded with a spectacular almost 360 degree view of San Diego!

This is a very dry area hiking trail. Good paths and scenery. It gets very hot in the summer so bring plenty of water. There is parking just off the road. Winter is a nice time to do this hike.

Beautiful spring day. Could see to Point Loma
It definitely is a workout , but so great to be able to see the city When you make it to the top. Telescope and landmark directional to help you know what your looking at! Enjoyed it so much!

some say the trail is easy others say it is straight up... how would you rate it.? I did Potato Chip rock up from Poway and it took 5 hours RT. I Once I got started I had to finish and it damn near wiped me out?

Hello Josephine,
It is definitely much shorter than the potato chip hike. I do the potato chip in 3-4 hrs and the Iron mountain in 2 hrs. It is still a good and intense workout but not as bad as Potato chip. I have taken a group of friends who were not in shape and although they were exhausted but they sure made it to the top in good time. It is very beautiful and the scenery is gorgeous. So that sure helps. So I say go for it. You'll love it and will keep going back.
Ket me know if you have other questions.
At what time does the parking lot close?

I don't recall the parking lot being the type that get closed off at all. There is a lot of street parking, and sometimes that's where you have to park. This is a busy trail.

There are nice facilities to park and sit, especially at the base and summit, but no camping area along the main trail :)
