Black Butte Trail - Mendocino

The trail begins at the base of Black Butte at the end of Forest Road 22N26. This trail is beautiful but very steep. It ascends almost 400' in 1/3 of a mile and is not recommended for stock. The trail starts in red fir and pine, quickly leaves the trees, and climbs up through craggy rocks to an outstanding 360° view from the barren summit of Black Butte. This trail may be snowbound until early June.
