Mountains
- Iron Mountain #1 (8007'/2440m) is located in California's San Gabriel Mountains. It is considered to be the hardest named-peak to climb in the San Gabriels. Also known as "Big Iron", it was originally called Sheep Mountain by the early miners in San Gabriel Canyon because of the large bands of Bighorn sheep that formerly roamed the slopes. The Geological Survey, which mapped the San Gabriels in the 1890s, ignored the local designation and gave it its present name. There are two lesser "Iron Mountains" in the same range.
