Trail Overview

This is an easy trail that most stock vehicles could tackle. There are some really beautiful views, and the high point is the lookout, which gives a breathtaking view of the sunset. There are 5 or 6 yellow post camping sites on the way up.

Trail is open. Very easy drive. Towed a trailer from the trailhead to the top of black mountain. Seen many small crossovers, managing the trail with no trouble. Campsites are fully open and ready for summer camping season.
