"Late afternoon power hike of Blue and Spitz. Taking advantage of the spring-like conditions of bare ground and temps in the 40’s. Nice views out over the Hudson River while I still had daylight. Back to the car before it’s completely dark." — Nimblefoot • Feb 6, 2024

"The wife and I took a saunter in Blue Mountain reserve after opening our Xmas gifts. Needed to work off our calorie dense breakfast and get some vitamin D in the balmy weather reaching 50* in the sunshine." — Nimblefoot • Dec 25, 2023

"Since all the trails from Seven Lakes Dr. to the summit, were still closed from the July rains, I drove up the reopened Perkins Memorial Dr. to the summit area. The sign at the start said the Observatory Tower was open but when I arrived, it was closed for the day. It was a short 1/10 mi. walk along the A.T. to the summit rock where I found the former fire tower footings and USGS marker. The mountain was basically in a rain cloud on this late afternoon although I could see most of the Hudson River Valley from the lookouts." — SteveM_StickMan • Nov 26, 2023

"Short O&B romp on the Briarcliff-Peekskill trail way from Blue mountain reserve to Collabaugh Pond road. With the ascents of Spitz and Blue added on plus some cruising on other trails in the reserve brought the mileage up to 12. Took advantage of a sunny dry,and humid, afternoon after a number of days off/on rain. A thunderstorm that dropped a sprinkle or two reduced the humidity nicely for the second half of my hike." — Nimblefoot • Jun 25, 2023
