THREE HIKING SISTERS, we love to hike together, but we don't all live in the same state. Sometimes it is only two of us, and sometimes we hike with others. This is a record of some of our hikes.

Iron Peak
We drove out to the Teanaways to the Iron Peak Trailhead (outside of the fire closure area) to hike up to Iron Peak on a beautiful day. We stopped short of the summit, where we had glorious views and avoided the last partly sketchy exposed trail to the top. Our stats 6.5 miles round trip with 2.450 ft of gain. We saw a few wildflowers in bloom and only four other hikers on this trail today.
On our drive to the trailhead, a flock of turkeys crossed the road where we also had a lovely view of Mount Stuart
The trail up to El Dorado Pass is mostly forested with some views along the way, here we saw Esmeralda and Fortune Peaks
