Private Property
The entire meadow that everyone seems to cross on the way to Black Butte from the east is on private property. On 10-14-22, I came upon a “Private Property” sign that prohibited crossing the meadow without permission. It isn’t too hard to continue further up the trail, and then approach Black Butte legally from the south. You can scramble up the ridge, staying reasonably close to the crest. Downclimb around the last pinnacle on the right/east, and then scramble up to the summit. There is no need to trespass.
