Pace: 18.38 min/mile

Trailhead: Hilltop Community Park

Black mountain is small peak which  I always see from my office to the south. Today, I decided to climb this mountain. I was supposed to leave early, but I was little lazy and get to the trailhead over 7 am. I have been here before to do work out. You can park your car at the Hilltop Community Park, and the trailhead is eastern side of park.

Most section of the trail is easy to follow, and always take Nighthawk Trail. You can take a left turn at the most of junctions and see the peak on your left while going up. When you close to the peak, there is steel door. Once you pass that and turn left to the wide section of the peak. You can return the way you came.
