Black Mountain trail is a good hike. We started off at the Shadow Canyon Access Point. This was my first time hiking this trail. We started off nice and cool but within 30 minutes of our hike, we started to feel the heat from the sun but we kept pushing. We were unable to complete the entire trail as we did not have enough time to do it. For what we have hiked, it gave us a nice view of Las Vegas. I highly recommend hiking this trail. I certainly will do it again and reach the top.
