Climbing Black Mountain

Cave Creek and Carefree are towns situated around a mountain named Black Mountain. It has 1160 foot elevation with a commanding view of the valley's all around it. In the middle of Cave Creek starts a path that will take you to the top, so guess who wanted to climb! We met our friends and did the 2-1/2 mile round trip hike in a little over two hours. It was a very rigorous climb for us, but it was good preparation for the Grand Canyon hike we will undertake in the fall.

After a big lunch at Harold's Steeler Bar, we both took a nice nap. I'm not sure what we will do this afternoon but I do plan to build a nice campfire this evening!

Sounds like you are getting in great shape with all the biking and hiking. I am getting caught up with you on your blog.
I was able to make reservations for David and myself for CO at the same place as everyone else. Looking forward to reading more of your adventures. Enjoy!
