Description for Black Mountain
If you like to work for your miles one pedal stroke at a time this is the place for you. This is an out and back. Climb, climb, climb, descend, technical descend, and then turn around and repeat. The single track portion is fun but Miner's Loop is lung buster. Everything is climbable with some practice but you are going to earn it. Nighthawhk is rocky but ridable. The new connector trail is nice and wide.
Directions to Black Mountain Trailhead
Start at the Hilltop Park and head up Nighthawk trail. Follow the trail up to the connector over to Miner's Loop. Miner's Loop can be riden in both directions. If you go left you will a have a small section of hike a bike. If you go right its down. Coming back you will have to work for it with some good challenging sections.

This is a great short ride, unless you do all the trails. If you ride to the radio towers you can see all the way to the Catalina. Some sections of trails are extremely rocky and much to steep for me as a beginner, but the downhill ride is totally worth the hike with your bike. Again the rating I gave these trails are as a beginner.
2. Fun, short ride

This is a fun short ride. I live very close, so I do all the trails on BM often. Miner's loop (on the north side of the trail) will test your switchback skills up rocky terrain. Very narrow in sections. I'm not the greatest technical rider, so parts of this ride are near my technical limit, but still fun.
