Running
The fens have a unique alien feel to them due to the bright colors from iron deposits. The flora are equally spectacular — you can get a decent view from up here on the ridge, but if you have time to run or drive (requires a good 4WD vehicle) to check them out in person the unique landscape is well worth it.

From the ridge, you get a fantastic view of the Iron Fens below. These fens form as mineral-rich water emerges from mountain springs, crafting vibrant shelves and terraces composed of limonite. The plant life in this area is equally impressive—you can observe it quite well from this viewpoint on the ridge.
