TGIF on Black Mountain

My first time hiking this peak, and what a perfect day to do it. Clear skies with views around every bend!

I took the day off to complete this peak. And with it being a Friday, it was pretty dead. I only counted about 6-7 other hikers total as I ascended and and descended.

Trail was in great condition. There were only a couple of super muddy/slick parts.

I started early and finished a little after Noon.

Hiker Math: “I’m a hiker — I take the day off, to get up earlier than I would for work, to drive 90 miles for a 10 mile hike.”
