We hiked the trail to the top of Black Mountain, we had never been here before, didn't know what to expect, except hopefully to find the hidden geocache there.
While hiking the 2 miles to the top, we would get occasional glimpses through the trees of mountains in the distance. After climbing 700' in elevation from our start at the parking lot, we were rewarded with a 360 degree panorama that was spectacular on this clear crisp fall day.
There's really nothing like sitting on top of a mountain, looking out to the horizon, to put things into perspective and clear your mind.
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. ~John Muir
