This is a lovely hike and it is one of my favorites! The Blueberry Ridge Trail above the summit of Blueberry Mountain has fabulous views and nice grades as it crosses the ledgy ridge. Bickford Slides loop well worth the extra effort--would like to see it during a high water level--water barely flowing. Blueberry and Speckled Mountains have wonderful summits. We could see the new wind turbines that are going up on Jericho in Berlin. |
