Climbing Blue Mountain in the Adirondacks

This video follows my climb up and down Blue Mountain with views from the fire tower at the peak. Blue mountain is a peak in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate, New York. Blue Mountain reaches a height of 3,750 ft. The climb is about 1,560 ft and the trail is about 4.4 round trip. This is one of the few peaks in the Adirondacks that still has a fire tower you can climb up. I climbed this with friends 25 years ago, and one of them was with me again on this trip. This hike was way harder than I remember, but 25 years ago, I was in the best shape of my life. Blue Mountain is ranked 79th by elevation in the Adirondack Park. 0:00 - Intro 0:34 - first mile of climb 11:50 - second mile of climb 18:40 - Top of Blue Mountain 22:33 - Hike Down Blue Mountain #hiking #mountains #mountainclimbing #adirondacks #newyork
