Black Butte Climb

Well, Black Butte is just another rock conquered by the Huni Family. Everyone decided however, after the first quarter mile of the 2 mile trail, that we were out of shape. And to further prove it, after an hour and 40 minute climb to ascend 1,596 ft, we rested at the summit below the fire lookout at 6,436 ft above sea level (about 3,000 ft above our home). Coming down was much easier, but still took us an hour. I felt the kids needed extra motivation to get back down, so we baited them with a promised visit to McDonald's. All are now resting and enjoying Ice Age 2. Hope they're not too sore tomorrow--I want to do a few more adventures like this before the summer is out.
