Spring at Black Mountain Cabin

The trail up is steady, good footing, not many rocks and several stream crossings. The view from the cabin was nice but from the summit was disappointing. The spring was a little more than a trickle but the area was set back from the cabin and clean. The cabin had been cleaned by a ranger the night before we arrived. The inside was a little dark but pleasant. The flies are out and there are no outside fires allowed so be prepared with spray. We stayed one night and everyone enjoyed themselves.
