Black Mountain Trail

Standard Black Mountain Trail #404. First three are slight uphill but easy, then the 0.45 of steepness and in reverse. Didn’t do the loop today due to time, but the loop is far better than the out and back. Windy as always on BMT. Starting the challenge on home turf and on a trail I frequent. Views at the top are always great and today was no exception. only the last 0.45 up and the same stretch down are challenging, the rest is pretty normal desert hiking.
