If you’ve only got a few climbs under your belt or are looking for the best mountain for your first climb ever, then Black Mountain is the perfect mountain to head to.

This 1,280-foot mountain is an easy hike with a slow and gradual trail. The trail to the peak itself is only 1.5 miles long and stays relatively gentle when it comes to the mountainside’s elevation gain.

After the easy trek to the summit, you can take in a fantastic view of the West River, which essentially serves as the border between New Hampshire and the southeastern region of Vermont. Black Mountain
