Briefly about the general area:

inspiring location to visit during your stay, and do set aside some time for Hurley Flat since you're here at Black Mountain Trail. Azalea Creek is a pleasant local stream; you ought to certainly dedicate some time to Metate Flat while you're here at Black Mountain Trail.
