Jun 29, 2020 — This route to Black Mountain is short hike that starts along an old, foot-traffic-only (I think) dirt road before veering off onto a road converted to trail through the forest. The hike continues to just follows this old roadbed to the summit Black Mountain nearly the whole time, excluding the last little bit where brush has encroached enough to just be a trail. There weren't any views along the way, just forest walking. Normally, this peak overlooks a great view of Lake George, but I only had fog. Fortunately, there are lots of others trails in the area, some of which would lead to the summit of Black Mountain. I would love to come back and including another route to Black Mountain from the south, which looks more interesting than this short and unevenful hike.
