Black Mountain Mid Week
Arrived about 9AM and found just 2 parking spots available. First and last mile a bit steep but not bad. Beautiful views of the valley
‘Round Rancho
I began my hike at the main Parking lot and looped around the park. 15 miles  ~3,000ft elevation Trails: Permanente Creek – Lower Meadow
Black Mountain Loop
Peak #2 – 1 day after Mission. Black Mountain is not much of a peak/summit but lots of shade and ferns. Birds and bunnies. Really
Blacked out from too much EG
Bring your cardio game no matter which trailhead you choose: Â the straight A frame incline or the steady reverse uncle with and added 4 miles.
Black Moootain 🙂 Peak
We (me and the 3 ladies) opted to do the 15 mile route since the 11 mile version was soo packed – even at 730AM
