The day after Thanksgiving we climbed Little Black Mountain (8040') - a 6 hour, 11 mile, 3,544' elevation gain hike. Little Black Mountain is the mountain in the center of the photo, it's actual peak is the smaller looking one furthest away.

This was around where we turned back last time. The snow actually made it easier.

After 7,500' both of us felt a bit dizzy from the elevation, but the views were great.

The last mile or so was along the ridge-line. This is only the false peak, the real one is hidden by this one.

Little Black Mountain's peak - it's pretty scary.

This was as far as we got, since it would take a good hour to scramble the last bit and we were fighting daylight.

We were still proud of ourselves.

Looking down into the valley - you can just make out downtown in the inversion.

Very pretty! Do you have to drive to a trail-head, or can you pick it up walking from your house? It's so great that you guys live so close to such amazing hikes!

We just walked a few blocks up from our house - we still don't have a car!
