Review & FAQ:
Black Mountain is the highest peak in Morrow County, which puts it among Oregon’s 36 county highpoints. It isn’t as impressive as some of its counterparts like Mount Hood, for instance, but it’s still a mountain posing a challenge. The trailhead, which is the gated service road up the mountain, starts at the base of the mountain and climbs over 1,000 feet. It’s a 4-mile round trip hike. Black Mountain is part of Oregon’s Blue Mountains. Hiking and climbing purists may be disappointed by the number of communications towers near the top of the mountain. The service road was built to service these towers, which may make summiting Black Mountain feel anti-climactic to some.
