I took a quick hike up Mount Blue this afternoon! The road doesn't open for the season until the 15th, so I biked in from Center Hill Road. The trail was in good shape on the way up. Above 2,500', there was still significant snow and ice on the trail, which you will want microspikes to navigate. The very summit was snow free and there were excellent views in all directions today. The trail was surprisingly busy, even with the road still closed, and I saw 4 other groups during my hike. |
