This wonderful hike begins on a lovely streamside trail and continues up a mountain pass between the two mountains. We then get to scramble up Blackdome (3980 ft) and Blackhead (3940 ft). The views are Splendid! We plan to take our time and enjoy the mountaintops in their October beauty. Hike appropriate for peakseekers, CATs Challenge all trails and all who love the outdoors in fall.
Come join the fun.
