Overview

Blue Hills - Hiking the Blues Away. The hike will feature the Chickatawbut area where will explore the surrounding trails. Our estimated 5-6 mile hike (@1,000' elevation gain) will take approximately 3-4 hours to complete, depending on the pace and stamina of the group that day. The route will include uneven terrain and rock scrambles with possible snow and ice depending on the weather. Warm layers of hiking clothes for winter weather conditions, sturdy footwear, snacks, 1 liter of water, rain gear and a backpack are required. Depending on the trail conditions, microspikes may be needed. We will periodically stop for delaying/layering, water, snack and bathroom breaks. This hike is open to all who qualify, and you do not have to be a member of AMC to participate. Online registration is required. After you register, the hike leader will send you detailed information on the meeting location and planned trails. We look forward to seeing you there!
