Black Mtn 7/23/17

[Hear the Footsteps]

The guidebook I have is dated 2001 and indicates this tower is in need of repair. Does anyone know what the current status is? Has it been restored?

The Black Mountain Tower is closed to the public.

I was up there in 2010, while doing my fire tower run. The tower was extended in height to support communication equipment and is surrounded by a fence. There was a wind turbine powering it. So I would say it's well taken care of.

Love the trail from the summit to Black Mt. Pond lean-to.

So many good views from there!

Great picts.

Beautiful day for a hike yesterday, #8 for me and #7 for my wife. Black is definitely a great hike for those who are in between the beginner and moderate hiker, a lengthier hike with a gradual incline, nothing too difficult. We got there relatively early so the trail head only had a few cars, even when we finished there was still plenty of parking for a beautiful Sunday.
