Fade to Black

Howie and I climbed Black mountain near Lake George today. We did a loop starting from the trailhead on Pike Brook Road. Climbed up the east trail to the summit and then down the south trail to Black mountain ponds, Lapland pond, and back to the trailhead. There were quite a few other hikers out enjoying the cool weather and fall colors. Our short trek took us around 4 hours.

Summit Elevation: Black 2640 ft
Round-trip Distance: 7.0 mi
Elevation Change: 1200 ft
