BRIEFLY DESCRIBE
SPECIFIC TRAILS HIKED AND TRAIL CONDITIONS ENCOUNTERED: Began hiking along the
Bickford Brook trail for ~.7 miles. At this point we took the Blueberry Ridge
trail to the junction with Stone House Trail. We then took a loop trail near
this junction around Blueberry Mountain. There was a great viewing area (views
to the south) along the trail! Once we joined the Blueberry Ridge trail, we
retraced our steps back to the trailhead.
Trail conditions were great! The
trails were fairly dry with only a couple of wet spots along Blueberry Ridge
trail. Bickford Brook was running pretty low.
WEATHER
CONDITIONS FOR HIKE: Sunny, warm (in the mid-80’s) and a light
breeze all day.
