Black Hill Lookout

Black Hill Lookout sits at 697 ft along The East Cape Coast, facing 30°, with the land dropping 374 ft within 600 m of the viewpoint. From here, Matangia rises to the east-northeast at 2.8 mi (1,050 ft), Tutumatai stands northeast at 5.0 mi (1,037 ft), Te Keho lies north-northeast at 6.6 mi (1,027 ft), and Pukehangi appears north-northwest at 8.4 mi (2,182 ft). Sun times shift across the year: at the March equinox the sun rises at 07:20 and sets at 19:31; at the June solstice sunrise is 07:32 and sunset 17:06; at the September equinox sunrise is 06:08 and sunset 18:13; and at the December solstice sunrise comes at 05:53 with sunset at 20:37. Given the northeast-facing orientation, morning light along the sunrise times listed would fall across the peaks in view. Martha Mine Lookout precedes this stop on the byway, and Leisure Island follows it.
