12 mi Black Mountain via PG&E Trail

Updated info coming
Organizer: Maxx

If you're up for a challenge, I invite you to explore a stunning 12-mile loop trail near Cupertino, California. With an average completion time of 5.5 hours, this hike is not for the faint of heart, but it's definitely worth the effort! This popular area is frequented by hikers and runners alike, and the trail is open year-round, providing breathtaking views in any season. Just keep in mind that dogs are not allowed on this trail, so leave your furry friends at home and get ready for an unforgettable adventure!
This loop trail promises to be an memorable experience with a total ascent of 3,227 ft, descent of 3,232 ft, and a max elevation of 2,807 ft. We will maintain a pace of 2.0-3 miles per hour, with breaks for snacking and hydrating on the go. We will plan for a longer break midway to recharge!

Please note that dogs are not allowed on this hike. It is crucial that you read reviews to ensure that you are physically fit to do the trail, and plan accordingly. Bring hydration, food, and any other items that maximize your hiking comfort. It is advisable to carry extra socks in case we cross through water.
