| partners | | After our side trip to Greenlee County High Point we drove over to FR184 where we planned on car camping. At the end of this forest road is the short trail to Blue Peak. We decided it was the perfect afternoon hike before settling in for our final night in The Blue.
We started hiking around 3:50pm and made good time over the first mile of trail. There is some sporadic downfall and thorny bushes along the way. The trail grew more dense as we continued and the final quarter mile to the summit was a bloody fight! I wish I wore pants.
We hit the lookout tower and climbed up to the top where we were greeted with wonderful 360 degree views. The four of us spent several minutes up top taking a variety of pics. This tower hasn’t been used in a long time and it’s falling apart. Most of the windows are gone and the floor makes you think twice.
After we had our fill we climbed back down and returned to the car at the TH. From there we drove roughly a mile back and picked a campsite right off the road. This hike was the perfect way to end our day and I really enjoyed the views up top. |
