 | Comments: |
Very nice approach to Black Mountain for some rewarding views. The only bad, actually disgusting, part of the hike was seeing someones wads of toilet paper within five feet of the trail. Come-on people have some decency! I know everyone has to go on occasion but take it into the woods, out of sight and bury it if possible. |
