Iron Fork Campground to Ross Mountain or Mount Baden Powell
Posted: Wed May 03, 2017 9:54 am
Hi everyone,
Was hoping someone may shed some light on the possibility of a hike from Iron Fork Campground to Ross Mountain or Mount Baden Powell. My buddies and I did a overnight backpacking trip from the East Fork trailhead through bridge to nowhere and ended up at Iron Fork. Now we are going to do a 2 nighter. Was hoping to set up camp at Iron Fork again, but the second day go without packs and try to hit one of the nearby peaks. I know there is a trail that follows the east fork all the way to vincent gulch and up to vincent gap, but I think this would be a little too long for us to go there and back.
Has anyone tried to, or heard of anyone summiting Ross or Baden Powell following the Iron Fork river. This would much more direct, just not sure if its doable.
I'm open to other suggestions as well. Would just really like to get a cool day hike in from Iron Fork campground on the second day. Thanks for your help.
