A glorious day with energetic hikers/flower-lovers: Cone Meadows was filled with colorful blooms, and the upper sections of the Iron Mountain switchbacks featured flax and penstemon. The viewing deck at the summit offered great views. Our crew of nine included Patty Baskin, Ian Fitzgerald, Mike Grady, Celine Livengood, Dan Moung, Susan Mulkey, Roz Shirack, Rosanna Wilson and leader Mady Kimmich.
