I hiked up to the 7,619 foot summit of Hickey Mountain in the Black Hills. I started at the Woodchute Mountain Trailhead parking area at 7,047 feet so the elevation gain was only about 518 feet. There was no trail until I got near the summit. The hike was 5.4 miles round trip and took me 3 hours and 46 minutes. Bushwhacking was minimal but the ground was covered with scattered basalt rock, mostly the size of footballs, and that made the trek slower.
