This “Point” is a peak in every respect. It is a great hike via its deteriorating trail. In 1992, the trail to the abandoned lookout was in fair shape. We spotted sign of goats on the ridge south of the summit. Nearby Bear Mountain can be climbed on the same day if you are energetic. USGS Iron Creek Point
