Black Mountain Hike with challengers and few friends

It was a good hike that I did with few other challenger friends and their friends. First Mile and Last mile is really steep, Last mile also is not that shaded. Overall good hike, Trail conditions are good. Good views from many places. Started around 7 am, Parking can be tricky at this trailhead so come early. It was not crowded. Peak was nice and breezy.
