Hiking
Black Mountain, itself, does not offer views that justify the amount of work it takes to get to the peak. Just north of the summit on the Black Mountain Trail, there is an excellent overlook of the Wolf Ford valley.
The Black Mountain Trail is largely a mountain biking trail so be aware of other trail users.
