Narrow path winding through a dense forest, surrounded by trees and foliage, with fallen leaves covering the ground. A signpost is visible on the right side of the trail. The atmosphere appears misty and tranquil. Iron Mountain mountain bike trail.

Mountain Biking Iron Mountain

#64 of 300 mountain bike trails in Virginia
#2,378 in the world

For a KILLEr climb, start in Damascus and ride up to Feathercamp. For easier access, park at Beartree, and access from either the Lum Trail, or other trails going up the mt. from the camp ground. I highly recommend maps from local bike shops. THe old race course is a good ride, takes less than 2 hours to ride. Iron mt. trail is the OLD Appalachian Trail, so it's in pretty good shape, but it can get technical and rocky. Its a very nice alternative to the MUCH easier Virginia Creeper Trail.
