"First mountain I have ever hiked and reached the Summit, in addition to climbing the Fire Tower. Fantastic hike, was well worth it for the views from the tower. I got hooked into hiking mountains. I found the Fulton Chain Trifecta to do next. More challenges to come after that." — deborahraleigh • Aug 25, 2019
"Had a little time to burn before I left for home so thought I would give this one a go since it would be my completion of the ADK Blue Challenge,, Nice little hike with 907 ft. of elevation gain, Its definitely a good little climb with some not so bad views from its few vantage points ,, Wild Blueberries on the summit bonus" — ramjet1963 • Aug 1, 2019
"3rd time to climb Azure, this time with husband, son, dog and some of the Brockville Hiking Club. It was beautiful as always and there were lots of wild blueberries ready to be picked. It was a great day with great people! " — Plodalong • Jul 26, 2019
"Took some new Hikers to visit this gem. 4th time up for me, 3rd for my Wife and our 4 legged Mountain Dog. Great weather, albeit a little too hot for the Dog. And as always, stunning views." — UK-Ranger • Jul 26, 2019
"My knee was giving me a lot of trouble Today after doing 3 peaks. We were gonna try 3 more higher peaks, but decided to re-hike a little gem we'd done before, as it would be easier. Last time we couldn't see much due to cloud, and we were in a thunderstorm. Beautiful day Today though." — UK-Ranger • Jul 19, 2019
