Blue Loop is a short, easy mountain biking route in Fort Washington State Park in Pennsylvania, managed by State Park and Recreation. The out-and-back trail is about 0.68 miles long, with a total elevation gain of about 10 feet, so it's a flat ride that starts and ends at nearly the same level. The route is part of a cluster of loops within the park. LDA West Loop, Yellow Loop and White Loop all sit about 0.1 mile away, and Orange Loop is about 0.3 mile off, making it easy to link several together in one outing. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Norristown show May highs around 75°F and September highs around 80°F, while July peaks near 89°F and January highs sit around 42°F. Climbers can find Dueling Snakes Wall and The Cleaver Boulder about 4.1 miles away, and Cresheim Valley is about 4.4 miles off.
