Black Mountain Fire Tower

|

It has been converted over to an emergency communications tower for the DEC Forest Service. I was disappointed, as I had hoped to climb it to enjoy the great views to the south.

Narrow Snowmobile Trail

|

As the snowmobile trail climbs the mountain, it narrows and grows progressively steeper. It's not a bad trail for snowshoers, as the snowmobiles must proceed slowly up such a steep mountain.

Bright Sunny Snowmobile Trail

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.
