The yellow trail heads down to a delightful chain of ponds, including Black Mountain Pond, while the red trail goes to the peak of Black Mountain.

The entire Black Mountain-area is Wild Forest, so it is traversed by snowmobile trails. I took the snowmobile trail / old woods up Black Mountain, because it was easy to snowshoe up.

The snowshoes are on. And I'm ready to go snowshoeing up the mountain.
