Blue Job Mountain

"Picked a short hike today since it was the first time wearing new hiking boots. Weather was great, good views of Mount Washington but man, did my feet hurt! Few Black flies and gnats. " — rjnick • May 19, 2018

"Beautiful day to hike with Kiki to work on her Fire Quest Patch...what a view from this little peak (even better at little Job). Thanks to the QR code provided by a 4th grade class Kiki was able to know all of the mountains we could see on this 360 degree view. " — shay-shay • Jan 16, 2017

"After visiting Little Blue Job, by mistake, I dropped back down to the pond and up to the tower. Third tower today and each one had the access to the cab locked. Little Blue Job was a better summit." — Nimblefoot • Aug 27, 2016

"A little bit muddy for the hike today making the climb up a tad slippery. Had the summit to myself with great views. Could see the Presidentials and Belknap mountains to the north, west to Monadnock and Wachusett and the view to the east stretched all the way to the Atlantic ocean!" — rjnick • Mar 26, 2016

"Didn't want to rest on the laurels of my 100th summit so went back up to Blue Job and Little Blue Job again. The Whites in New Hampshire are too crowded during weekends and especially holiday weekends so I stick close to those mountains less visited until tourist season is over. " — StoneMan • Sep 6, 2015

"It's been 42 days since I last had a chance to hike up Blue Job and Little Blue Job. It was a great day to visit these local mountains again as I close in on summiting them 100 times." — StoneMan • Aug 30, 2015

"Figured I'd do another local hike and avoid the July 4th crowds up in the Whites, so went back to the Blue Job Mountains again this weekend. Blueberries are arriving so that's a treat." — StoneMan • Jul 5, 2015

"Good day to hike a local mountain and celebrate the 4th. Also started working on two new lists, the Scoops & Loops and the Brewpubs & Hikes. Do a hike, visit one of the places on the lists, have an ice cream and a beer and eventually earn a patch. What's not to like?" — StoneMan • Jul 4, 2015

"We routinely hike Blue Job, sometimes from the parking lot on 1st Crown Point road, sometimes from the other side (From Rte 11, take Ridge road, then take Hornetown road which forks off to the left. go to end of Hornetown road, turn left. Just after the pavement ends, Scruton road will be on your right. There are several places to park along the road. If you have a high clearance vehicle you may be able to drive past the swampy area, up the hill to the gated trailhead on the left. This access road leads to little blue job which has GREAT views, and you can access the trails to Blue Job. Check out the pond, there are usually turtles out on the rocks. There are many side trails to explore, including one that leads to a rock seating group that is pretty cool. If you are a geocacher, there are several caches, and letterbox caches up here. Blue and Little blue are pretty easy hikes, great for kids and newbies. See you on the trails!" — talrcat • Apr 21, 2014

"Packed snow. Got trapped between 2 women, one of them had 2 dogs, the other woman with 5 dogs, all brittanys. They were friends. 6 out of 7 of the dogs were brittanys, the 7th one being of the same size. " — newenglandwarrior • Mar 25, 2013

"Nice clear nighttime moonlight hike of Blue Job and Baldy. Nice view of the constellations even with a very bright almost full moon. Jupiter was very prominent in the sky. I wish I had brought my binoculars or small spotting scope to see Jupiter's moons in these fairly dark skies. " — earth2marty • Nov 25, 2012

"5 mile walk and jog, then up an over the Blue Jobs. Yesterday did a refresher course in glacier travel and self arrest on patches of snow on the Gunstock Mtn. ski slopes. All in all, a great weekend to be outside. " — StoneMan • Apr 15, 2012

"We started the trail with just boots, switched to microspikes, or ministabbers as my girlfriend calls them, about 2 minutes into the hike. About 10 minutes after that we switched back to just boots all the way up. It was a clear day, sunny and about 32 degrees. The view from the tower was awesome! We could see Mt. Washington very clearly, probably saw the ocean if we knew where to look for it. Only distraction was the crew of electric guys that had driven their golf cart up to do some work. Kind of took away from the summit a little, but the trail was nice. On the way down went the other trail back to the parking lot, the first part was very, very icy from vehicles driving on it, so we used the ministabbers till close to the end. The trail got much prettier when we separated from the road and got back into the woods. Little bridges and streams. Very nice hike for a couple of beginners!" — sockmonkey145 • Feb 8, 2012

"Really short hike up to the summit. Climbed the fire tower and looked off into the distant white mountains and at the surrounding towns. Nice short romp. Cold day, Overcast, light wind at summit." — MorganJKelley • Jan 12, 2012

"Beautiful day for a quick workout taking the loop over Blue Job and Little Blue Job during an extended lunch break. Sunny, no wind, 41 degrees. Still t-shirt and shorts weather." — StoneMan • Dec 13, 2011
