Blue Mountain stands at 3,750 feet in the central Adirondacks with a fire tower still open for climbing. The trail from the trailhead is 4 miles round-trip, gaining 1,500 feet — steep in sections but short enough for a half-day, with 360-degree views from the tower.
Nearby waters include Tirrell Pond and Minnow Pond.
