Looking down the Blueberry Ridge Trail on the way to Blueberry Mountain
Route: Bickford Brook Trail, Bickford Slides Trail, Blueberry Ridge Trail, Lookout Loop, (Blueberry Mountain), Lookout Loop, Blueberry Ridge Trail, Bickford Brook Trail, (Speckled Mountain), Bickford Brook Trail
For the ascent, I headed up the Bickford Brook Trail, then dropped down the Bickford Slides Trail, which was well worth the extra vertical/distance.
Above scenic Blueberry Mountain, the Blueberry Ridge Trail had some nice vistas, though I may prefer the Cold Brook Trail still.
The Bickford Brook Trail was a fairly gradual descent, being an old jeep road.
