Iron Lake (near the Minarets)
Posted: Wed Mar 21, 2012 11:02 am
Iron Lake looks enticing on the map, and by the few photos I can find on the Internet.
What's the most interesting way to get there?
There is a saddle between Ashley Lake and Iron Lake that looks possibly doable based on the topo, but I didn't see information on that in Secor's book.
Anyone tried to counter north from Iron Lake to Shellenberger Lake, without dropping all the way back down to the trail?
Is the official trail to Iron Lake from the west pretty scenic? I usually prefer eastside entries, but the west entry would save me some driving.
