"Started out from the Miner’s Ridge Trailhead and followed the rocky trail toward Black Mountain. The first stop was Secondary Summit. There were good views of nearby Black Mountain from the top. Although there is a trail directly connecting the two peaks, the pathway is closed. My alternative was to return to where the spur trail left the main path and continue on it. It meanders a bit before reaching Black Mountain Road. The road then leads to the summit. After pausing under the towers for a few minutes, I continued on to Little Black Mountain and Manzanita Loop Hill. Ebony Benchmark was the next obvious summit along the ridge, but I ran out of time. Will figure a way up that one next time. Good weather today and good hiking trails in Black Mountain Open Space Park." — MikeTeeples • Jan 5, 2020
"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. " — Mtstalker • Apr 15, 2019
