Iron Mountain Road update
Bruce Moats
Cutting across steep mountain slopes on the south side of the Clark Fork River, the road is formally called the Iron Mountain/Cyr Road. But my family and friends called it by a less imaginative name, “The Road Behind the Mill.”
The road ran behind the old Diamond Match mill, at least when you viewed it from the Superior side. Residents would sled down its steeper grades. The road offered great views of the valley below. It also offered a back road for a teenage boy to ride his mini-motor bike to a friend’s house on Sunrise Creek.
My parents surprisingly allowed me, not yet old enough for a driver’s license, to ride the bike for an overnight to the home of my friend, Brian Crabb.
