| Climbed via the trail from Route 30. A pleasant walk in the woods. Morning fog obscured much of the summit views. | |

| Climbed Blue yesterday. Great weather. I had climbed it a few times years ago. It seemed more difficult than I remember. Quite rocky in spots and the trail is in tough shape in areas. The view was excellent, as I remember. Took longer to get down than up as the rock is slippery in some areas. All in all a nice hike. | ||

| It was a nice, short hike on a muggy day. The views were disappointing at best, but overall a good day. | |

| mountainloverCO | Beautiful Day Date Climbed: May 25, 2009 | |
| Enjoyed a nice little hike up Blue Mountain on a beautiful late May day with minimal bugs. The views at the top were spectacular. Makes me eager to check out more of the Adirondacks... | |

| Mayhey Kid | Cold Day ,Great Hike Date Climbed: Jan 27, 2007 | |
| It was -4F when we stopped for coffee at 6:00am in Valley Forge. Im guessing 15 to 20mph winds. Nice Mountain. No views because of clouds and conditions. Snowing and blowing. | |

| Hiked Blue Mt. with my Dad and brother while we were on a canoe trip in the Adirondacks. We saw the mountain from the Blue Mountain Lake and decided to climb it. | |

| Florida Frank | Avoid the busy summer weekends Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2004 | |
| I've been up Blue many times. It's a bit too crowded for my tastes on nice summer weekends....unless you go early. | |

| CookieMonster | Climbed Twice Date Climbed: Aug 22, 1988 | |
| One of the tougher climbs in the area but still short and well graded. I think that they moved the trailhead further up the road on my second climb. The views aren't bad, but, in my opinion, it's better to gaze up at Blue Mountain. On every drive up to the Adirondacks from the South, this is the mountain that says you've arrived. | |

| The Ogre | Short but sweet | |
| I've hiked Blue Mt. a couple times; once was many years ago, and once in early October 2004. Yeah, it's short and easy, but the views from the top are well worth it. It's the highest peak in the immediate area, with lakes and low mountains all around, and the High Peaks in plain sight. Loved it! I plan to go back in winter some time for a long-distance view of the High Peaks in winter. | |
