Lichen It to C Overlook --
Iron Hills Trail System in Cedar City
This is a climbing route with 2200 vertical feet over 8.5 miles. Lichen It is easy technically and aerobically. Greens Lake is significantly tougher, with steeper pitches and some trickier turns and dips, but would rank intermediate. Highlands is a bit easier than Greens Lake. The C Trail is the most difficult of the pitches. |
