| DougBenton | Christmas Summit!  Date Climbed: Dec 25, 2011 | |
| Perfect day!! A little chilly in the shade, and some hard packed snow/ice where you would expect it. About 3 hours round trip...glad I took my ice axe, but trekking poles would have probably been better. | |

| Had a nice after-work hike up the Butte. Only saw one other hiker this tuesday afternoon. Definitely worth the couple hours to do it. Great views. The first mile or two on the access road are washboardy pretty bad - don't let that stop you. | |

| Icemansurf | A little butte kicker Date Climbed: Jul 16, 2011 | |
| Was denied two months earlier due to snow and a late start, but was successful this time. Took a nice pace and made it to the top in less than 1 hour, then ran down in some spots, made it back in 45 min. Great workout, great views, great little peak. | |

| FarNorCalGirl | Better Than Expected Date Climbed: Jun 24, 2011 | |
| This was much more beautiful than I expected! Much more vegetation than you would expect when you look at the mountain from below, and that contrasted with the boulder fields made for a very interesting hike. Perfect weather also. Might have to do this one again...and the night hike is a great suggestion. | |

| Hiked up with Mai-Anh. Second black butte in three days to cap off a 3 day Oregon-California trip - first black butte I climbed was in Oregon near Bend. Amazing views but could have been better if it weren't for the cloud cover over Shasta. | |

| DougBenton | Lost count!! Date Climbed: Jun 10, 2008 | |
| Climbed this peak so many times I have lost count, just a great day trip with a fantastic view. This was also another mountain my father took me up when I was younger...7-9 years old. Since that time I average about once every two years or so...superb hike! | |

| Completed this hike with two 9 year olds and two 10 year olds. We had a blast as it was fairly easy and quick (about 2 hours). Beautiful cloudless day. Even saw a motorhome fire on I-5 near the Weed Airport. | |

| Started at 6:30, topped out at 8, back at car by 9. Easy hike, but go early, it gets hot out there. Nobody else on trail or in lot. | |

| Little Mountain Goat | Weather turned on a sixer | |
| I was probably seven, but im not sure. It was great weather when we satrted, but on the summit, the weather quickly turned bad, and Shasta's summit was engulfed in clouds down to no higher than 12000 feet. It rained on the way back down, and the winds were at least 70 mph. | |

| Up again for sunset views. Numerous groups on the trail this time, but a great, quick hike nonetheless. | |

| First time my father and I had summited Black Butte, and got it done on our first try! Incredible view of Mount Shasta!! A little bit windy that day but still an experience that I will not soon forget! | |

| edevart | Left at Sunset, Down in the Dark Date Climbed: Oct 19, 2007 | |
| Great way to end a day. Left as the sun was setting over Mt. Eddy. Shasta bright white after the season's first real snowstorm. Came down in the dark. | |

| sgica | Ggreat view of Shasta Date Climbed: May 17, 2007 | |
| You can't miss this little volcano as is looms over Weed and Mt Shasta City right next to I-5. I have always said to myself, "That looks like an intersting, and hot, hike." It was. Great views of Shasta from both the trail and the summit. I had the trail and top all to myself. Stop by The Fifth Season for map to the TH. | |

| vancouver islander | No views, no problem Date Climbed: May 1, 2007 | |
| Quick hike up and down in iffy weather. Had planned to do more in the area but BB was the only thing with its summit clear of clouds, so headed that way. Unexpectedly good trail considering this hill is mainly loose volcanic choss. Heavy rain going up and down but got a little window on top to enjoy a dry lunch. Thanks to whoever for the nice windbreak/wall on top. No views except S down I5. A little less than 1.5h up and the same down. Recommended even if only for the lack of crowds. | |
