Black Crater - Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge Hike #4

This is a 7.3 mile hike that climbs 2,260 vertical feet to the summit of Black Crater -- part of the Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge.

Black Crater has beautiful, front-row views of the Three Sisters, Broken Top and up and down the Cascades. You can find a detailed description of the trail with photos, a map and elevation profile here.

Be sure to eat a hearty and healthy breakfast; it is a fairly steady climb to the top!

Meet at the trailhead at 7am for introductions and a quick gear check, then start hiking by 7:15am.
