"First off, a big shout out to the Forest Service, WSDOT, or whoever paved the Teanaway Road and then did a wonderful job on Road 9737 which is unpaved, but was regraded and is wonderful to drive on. Driving up to the trailhead was a breeze, and very picturesque. We decided to try this trail today, in hopes that by heading far enough east we would hopefully outrun the rain that was coming down heavily in Seattle, and well past Snoqualmie Pass. Indeed, luck was on our side, and today's weather provided pluses and minuses on this hike. The pluses: -Apparently the Iron Peak trail is very popular in the summer, but today there were just 4 other groups on the trail, which we attribute to the overcast conditions. -The light rain kept the trail dust down to a tolerable level. Still dusty, but not terrible. -It seems like a lot of horses use this trail, and their droppings provided plenty of obstacles, but weren't too smelly. In high heat, the smell of that much horse manure can't be pleasant. -We didn't go through that much water. The minuses: -Wonderful scenery up this way, but the tops of the peaks of the Stuart Range were covered with clouds, and of course, no long range view..." — BryHong8 • Jul 25, 2015

"I made the scramble to this summit after claiming Iron Peak. The snow in the large eastern chute was just far enough melted out to get across with two dogs. The stubby-legged one held us up in a few places, but it was nothing too difficult. From the top Mt Stewart is completely unobstructed along with the tops of the Enchantments, with Bill's Peak the only thing standing in their way. Plenty of wildflowers and bugs to go along with them. The summit itself is highly exposed on the north side. " — Jeb • Jul 22, 2012
