 | Comments: |
Great 8.6 mi RT up Blueberry Ridge Trail, descend Bickford Brook Trail. Going up Blueberry is a better option because of the steepness and rockiness when everything is wet and muddy. Bickford Trail is a gradual, easy descent through the woods. No views today unfortunately but still a great hike. |
