We did a Double Black Mountain Hike (just can’t have enough with one) to the Summit starting from Hidden Villa Entrance.

Caution: Ticks and Poison Oaks (3 people caught total 5 ticks) and thankfully we were using caution with Poison Oaks (a lot of portion had bunch that can make your trip memorable if you catch them).

Overall a fun day to be in the natures lap. During Morning Hike, Summit was covered in fog & in 2nd round, we got to see beautiful views along with few Lizards, Deers, Butterflies, and a surprised (and fairly lost) Turkey on trail.

We went twice with cumulative distance of 21+ Miles & 5000+ Cumulative elevation gain, a good training hike for whatever you are looking forward to !

Learned few lessons for next long hike (Carry more water specifically with Summer approaching 🙂 & and some extra electrolytes never hurts).
