Agreed. These are lovely mountains and good trails and can all be done as a part of a day hike by any reasonably fit hiker. Personally, the through hike of each of the 3 Black Heads is my favorite route. While most folks may discount that idea if they don't want to shuttle a car, it is a good idea to consider a bike option. If you drive to the end of Black Dome Valley Rd. to the trial head, and drop off (and lock!) a bike up in the woods, you can then return to the trail head off of Barnum Rd. in Maple Crest, do the through hike, grab your bike at the bottom, and coast downhill (critical part of the planning process not to make it uphill!) back to your car. I do this on a bunch of the valleys in the Cats. Have fun and post a trip report!
