Blue Trail is a short, easy loop in New York, about 0.7 miles long and rising just 21 feet from its lowest point to its highest. It sits in the Williams Bridge area, about half a mile from the town of Williams Bridge. The trail is a loop, and the climb is gentle. The steepest stretch comes early, at about 0.14 miles in, with a grade of about 3 percent. The rest of the route stays nearly flat, making it a quick outing for a walk or a break before or after another outing in the area. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Bronx run to highs around 72°F in May and 77°F in September, with July the warmest month at about 86°F. Red Trail lies just 0.1 mile away, and the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail and the Bronx River Blueway are both about 1.7 miles off. Inwood Hill Park, a climbing area, is about 2.7 miles away.
