Description
This is an awesome hike, as mentioned by another member previously. I felt obliged to add another description, as the other is not quite accurate. This is a 15.3 mile hike over rough rocky terrain (wear good boots). It can be hiked in a day, but there are two shelters, at 6 and 13 miles, along the way for those who want to stay overnight as well as some good campsites. Be careful in the areas the trial borders the state commisioned gamelands. Have fun!!

Directions to Hike
Take 476 to exit 33 (not 35 as mentioned in a different trail description) and follow the signs to 309 North. You will continue on 309 for about 20-30 minutes. You will pass a sign to Blue Mountain Vineyards before you begin to crest Blue Mountain. The trailhead is at the top of this mountain almost directly across from the Blue Moutain Restaraunt. The parking lot will be on the right and the restaraunt on the left.
