Description

Tucked back in the distance on the south City Creek ridge, Black Mountain is the high point of the beloved Wahsatch Steeplechase.

It can be accessed from several Bonneville Shoreline Trailheads but Terrace Hills is a great option.

Follow the trail up and trend east until you get to the obvious trail that leads to the base of the peak.

Once you get there, a very steep trail heads to the summit ridge and false summit.

At the top, the vert is behind you but an interesting but not too technical ridgeline scramble lies between you and the true summit.
