Black Butte

Partly Sunny.  Low 20’s.  Windy.  Trail was a combination of slush, snow, and a little ice.  Some small rocks helped with footing.  We hiked up

Started at the upper trail head, it was a beautiful and relatively easy hike, trail was well maintained, with identifiers for trees, plants and two

Hiked same day after Black Crater. Not a very good idea because I was tired and did not appreciate the hike as much as I

My son and I hiked to the summit in about an hour and a half, maybe less. It was a nice, short hike. We started

Cool temperatures.   When we got to the top, we were fogged in.  No views but still an enjoyable hike.
