picked up the best coffee of the trip at black hills blend on the way back to sylvan lake
planned to hit black elk peak from there - the literal high point of the trip
a scenic hike at a moderate grade through open forest
a final ridgeline and a spur to the peak
interesting CCC structure on top
a popular hike, but we got there early enough that it didn't feel too crowded
spent some time at the top checking out the tower and admiring views of cathedral spires and little devils tower
made our way back down and had a little picnic lunch at the sylvan lake general store
highly recommend this one
