Iron Mountain (Utah)
Iron Mountain, in southwestern Utah, is the namesake of Iron County, Utah. Its summit is 7,815 feet (2,382 m) above sea level and is located at Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found..[1] It has a long history of iron mining, in the form of magnetite and hematite. Mining at this site goes back to Brigham Young and Mormon pioneers in the 1850s.[2] The early history of this mining can be seen at Iron Mission State Park in nearby Cedar City, Utah. It is one of three major peaks in the Iron Mountain Mining District.
