Blue Trail

Blue Trail is a short, easy hike on County of Monroe land in New York, about 1.5 miles long and rising about 200 feet from its low point of 251 feet to a high of 394 feet. The route runs point to point rather than in a loop, and it crosses its steepest stretch early on, with a grade of about 13% at the 0.22-mile mark. The trail is rated easy, and it works well as a quick outing. Bikes are allowed, but horses are not, so plan on wheels rather than hooves. The climb is gentle overall, and the route's brevity makes it easy to fit into a longer visit to the area. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go.
