Blue Mountain Fire Tower/Hiking Trail

Dan “DB” Black

Amazing, however, this is not a leisure hike. Maintain a certain level of seriousness before starting. It's 2.25 uphill. Most technical the last 20 minutes. Total time upwards will be about 2 hours ave BRING at least TWO bottles of water PER person, enough food for 4 to 5 hours and a first aid kit to be safe.bWear HIKING SHOES, have a walking stick or trekking poles. I also would not leave any later than 1:00 in the afternoon.
