Blue Hill
Blue Hill, ME
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Looking down the lower Hayes Trail
Route: Hayes Trail, Tower Trail
Trails were mostly dry and good shape. Upper Hayes Trail was a bit rugged, while the Tower Trail had odd footing in places (looks like someone is in the process of hand paving the trail, so it should be pretty neat to see someday). Fantastic views ascending the Hayes Trail to the southern ledges (near the communication tower), then some great views from the ledgy summit.
