Really fun and remote feeling climb. Closed to cars and only a few campsites and ATV/Moto users nearby. As of May 2023 the road had many and constant patches of dirt of varying annoyance, but it is not too bad and the entire thing is paved. It does mean caution is needed on the many descents of this undulating climb with many quick up and downs.
After a more peaceful section up a canyon and up to views of the Pozo valley below, the road reaches a pass, with the paved climb jutting off to the left and starting en epic section along a ridge leading to the summit. Views of the eastern valleys reveal themselves and then the solid block of Black Mountain comes into view face on and intimidating. This fun section undulates frequently and goes through many sharp turns before eventually descending a few hundred feet and the final climb begins up to the summit. I'd say this is a hidden gem!

Climb is challenging, but offers spectacular views. Black Mountain Road off Park Hill via Pozo or Las Pilitas. Seven miles to FAA radar station with gradients hitting 20%+, but undulates for respites. Near top, may have to “bandit†gate. Not well-known, but I highly recommend.
