Black Mountain Trail - 10 Miles, 2300 Ft

Sign up opens Fri, Jan 16th at 5pm.

Due to winter finally arriving, I am picking a less technical trail this week and recognizing a birthday request for this trail. This trail is not in Black Mountain as you might think but starts just before the Pisgah Ranger Station. It is an out and back with a steady incline to the turn around for a total of 10 miles and 2300 ft of elevation gain. We will keep a decent pace to keep warm but stop as needed.

Please plan to meet at the Mills River Ingles by the gas pumps at 9AM. If you are meeting us at the trailhead, please let me know via private message or in the comments.

Right now the weather looks good for Monday but cold. If that changes, I will send out an update no later than 7am on Monday morning.

Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash.
