| Great views and interesting area. Deer tracks along the summit ridge at 10,000+ ft. Strange. Wanna save a time and mileage? Take the notch/canyon on the most westerly side of Lunch Meadow up to Black Hawk. There's a light use trail from this canyon up to the open meadows higher up on the route. We climbed from Mosquito Pass to Black Hawk and came down this suggested route. Mosquito Pass route is ok, but it's a couple of additional miles and more time burned on your leisurely 22-mile day hike. Enjoy! | |

| Great 2-day trip, camped along Summit Creek and then climbed up via Lewis Lakes. Returned more directly using the North Slopes. | |

| Nice dayhike from Kennedy Meadows. Fun routefinding through the cliffs below Black Hawk Lake. Great wildflowers. | |

| An attempt with my 9 year old in the tow. We made it to just over 10K, would have summited it if I was more certain of her capabilities, did not want to push her too hard. Also explored Relief Peak from Lunch Meadow, camped there for 3 nights. | |

| Traversed to Black Hawk Lake from Upper Lewis Lake and then climbed up the slopes to the summit. Nearly complete snow coverage the whole way. Severe sun cups made travel on the snow difficult. Descended to Sheep Camp. | |

| The peak was much easier this time around. Great hike--May is my favourite time of year to visit this area. | |

| An enjoyable dayhike with Matthew, taking the direct route from Saucer Meadow. Lots of snow above the meadow, making the route much easier. Trip Report | |

| We camped at Upper Lewis Lake and followed the ridge up just south of Middle Lewis Lake as described in Ben Schifrin's guide book. We climbed each of the 4 unnamed peaks between Granite Dome and Blackhawk Mountain, with Blackhawk as the finale. Great day of climbing under mostly clear skies! There's plenty of water available from snow melt and small but clear lakes, even in August. The final ascent is an easy walk up from the south. | |

| Matthew Holliman | Route Climbed: SE Ridge (ascent) / North Slopes (descent) Date Climbed: July 26, 2003 | |
| This is a nice dayhike. I thought I was in for a boring walk-up with nice views, and it seemed I was... until the descent, when things became more interesting. I really wished I'd had my rock shoes with me. I was planning on taking Pete Yamagata's route up, but I never spotted anything recognizable as Saucer Meadow. So I didn't realise I was at Lunch Meadow until I reached the Mosquito Pass trail junction. By that point, it seemed easiest to continue up and tag the peak from the east. | |
