| Numerous times, many in wind, fog, or precip that kept visability down to mere feet. | |

| Great camping spots just south of the summit. Wonderful 360 degree views. Windy but the scenery reminds me of Scotland. Such a uniquely wonderful place. | |

| Black Balsam Knob is a beautiful sixer, but to thoroughly appreciate the mountain, you must climb it from the Flat Laurel Creek Trail. This peak can be busy during the summer depite what the main page says about its serenity. Because of the ease of access via the Art Loeb Trail, traffic can be heavy in the spring summer & fall>>Winter is an ideal time to visit is you want the mountain to yourself>> We continued on to Tennent Mt. | |

| A nice hike from the road. Great views of the surrounding mountains. Interesting grassy summit. Went on to Tennent Mountain from there. Could see the summit of Sam Knob, where we camped that night. | |

| An overcast day when we hiked up, but still had great views from the summit. Would have done a longer hike to Tennent Mountain after, but we were short on time. I also recommend the nearby Graveyard Fields loop, but hike it during the week to avoid the crowds. | |

| Only hiked Flat Laurel Creek Trail once. Its the only way to access the summit when the Parkway is closed. | |
