Blue Trail

Blue Trail is a short, easy hike in Winn Preserve in New York, a protected area managed by a non-governmental organization. The trail is 0.63 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 60 feet, and it runs from a low point of about 1,210 feet to a high of about 1,284 feet. The route is a point-to-point path rather than a loop, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.49 miles in, with a grade of about 6 percent. The trail is best suited to a quick outing. Summer is the most comfortable time to go, with typical July highs around 81°F and lows near 59°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station. That station sits about 300 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the trail run a little cooler. The White Trail and Yellow Trail both start about 0.2 miles away, and the Green Trail is about 0.3 miles off. For climbers, Cave Wall is roughly 4.8 miles away.
