Blue Mountain Trail is a 0.6 km moderately trafficked loop frequented for its very easy nature and great views. You’ll have a wonderful vantage point over the Olympics without needing to trek far or climb nearly at all. This trail is suitable for beginners and small children and makes a nice cooldown hike after a longer adventure in the area.

Route Description for Blue Mountain Trail

When it comes to high reward for low effort, Blue Mountain Trail might have all the others beat. This hike is less than half a mile long with only 40 m of elevation gain to handle. It’s very pretty, with a panoramic view of the Olympic Mountains all around you. For a quick outing with kids or a cooldown hike, it’s a perfect selection. We recommend going clockwise to end with the best views.

From the trailhead, take the route on your left and meander along the easy-to-follow path, making your way over to the stellar viewpoint past the midway point of the loop. The views all around are great, especially on a clear day! Linger wherever you like as it’s an extremely short walk to arrive back where you started.
