| asmrz | Skied from Hwy 243 Date Climbed: Feb 28, 2011 | |
| Penelope May and I went to check out the Black Mountain Road on February 21, 2011. We found a neat set of fresh ski tracks in the powder snow right off Highway 243. Since we started late (9:30) we skied only about 4 miles up. There we found Deb Castro-Daly and Dave Daly (SP Members) who (nicely) broke the trail for us. But we didn't make the summit, the day was too short for us. After a huge snow storm the next weekend, we tried it again on February 28, 2011. We started early and skied the 6-7 miles to the Lookout tower and the summit. We had to break the snow all the way this time, so it was a good workout. The ski down to our car parked on Hwy 243 was really nice. RT of about 12-14 miles. This is yet another great AT trip in the "Not so Alpine" land of Southern California. | |

| Alex Wood | Late May Snow Date Climbed: May 24, 2010 | |
| Hiked this peak with my little brother and our dogs. Drove most of the way up (probably 3/4 of the way) on the road with my Ford Taurus. I could have made it to the campground, but there was alot of snow on the road (it was melted on the way down). Cool views and lots of rocks. I will be coming back to check out the rock climbing in the area. | |

| Via Black Mountain Road. First of five HPS (one delisted) peaks in the western San Jacinto mountains. Great views and pleasant temps in the early morning hours. Bumpy road was tackled in about 15 minutes in my SUV. Perfect fall day! | |
