## Overview

Black Mountain Backcountry Cabin was built in the 1930s by the Civilian
Conservation Corps and sits on what was once pasture land. The cabin was
renovated in 1992, though its original character was maintained. The
surrounding pasture was cleared as well to provide the scenic views that
guests enjoy today. The Black Mountain Ski Trail is used to hike or ski to the
cabin, depending on the season. The 1.4-mile trail starts at an elevation of
1,250 feet, and the cabin sits at an elevation of 2,450 feet. Guests should be
prepared to transport all their gear and supplies on foot.

## Recreation

The Black Mountain Ski Trail used to access the cabin is a popular backcountry
ski trail. It continues 0.4 miles beyond the cabin to the summit of Black
Mountain, which offers views of Carter Dome, Carter Notch and Wildcat Ridge.  
  
A groomed trail system operated by Jackson Ski Touring Foundation is within a
mile of the cabin. A trail pass is required.

## Facilities

Black Mountain Cabin is very rustic with minimal amenities. There are 8 wooden
bunks, 2 small tables, benches and a wood stove. An outhouse with a vault
toilet is located a short distance away. There is a broom provided as guests
are requested to tidy up the cabin before leaving.  
  
Water and electricity are not available. Any water taken from the natural
sources should be treated or boiled, but it is recommended that guests bring
their own water. Bedding and sleeping pads are not provided. Recommended items
include matches, food, cooking utensils, trash bags, toilet paper, a camp
stove, first aid kit, flashlight or lantern, extra batteries, firewood and/or
a cutting tool for dead and down wood.  
  
The amount of available firewood in the area cannot be guaranteed. The cabin
is not insulated, so winter guests should be prepared for temperatures inside
to be almost the same as the outside, even when the wood stove is in use (more
details on the cabin).

## Natural Features

This cabin is located on the west side of Black Mountain and offers views of
the 4,400-foot Wildcat Ridge and 6,288-foot Mount Washington - the tallest

information).
