Parked at Glider Point trailhead and used Glider Point trail to summit Secondary Summit. Backtracked to link up with Miner’s Ridge Trail to Nighthawk Trail to service road to summit Black Mountain. Back down to Nighthawk Trail to Little Black Loop Trail. Summited Little Black Mountain. Quickly moved onto Manzanita Loop Hill and summited. Moved onto the final peak of the day Ebony Benchmark. Moved on to the truck to complete the loop. Recommend trekking poles. Will need gaiters for Ebony Benchmark. Tons of foxtails.
