52 in the Year of 52 --- #hike9 --- Blue Mountain Preservation

Well this hike is not for the faint of heart...not because it's so physically challenging but because the trails are not marked well. 
Starting with getting there...if you type in BMP into GPS you will most likely be sent to the BMP shooting range. Type in Welch Lane BMP don't go towards Montrose. 
Positives...very friendly mountain bikers and hikers who helped get me back on trail. If you are a single sporty girl...there are a slew of handsome rugged bikers to be chatted up! 😜

Blue Mountain Preservation 
Peekskill, NY
Hiking poles a good idea
I wish I could tell you the trails I took...but suffice it to say I was "hiking" from 9:30am - 1:30pm
Sunny, but breezy day 

My lessons for this hike, don't panic. Bring a compass. Back track when a trail goes cold. Keep your chin up! 😁 and your eyes too! 

Laying down on the job...
At the top of Spitzenberg Mountain...
Lost #3
Lost again...but still smiling!
Next step is a doozy...where did the trail go? 
Keep on stepping...
Lost #6...
Follow the stream back...yay!
I found my way back...
I am a tree hugger but also happy to hug my mini when I finally made it back to it! 
The trail map...doesn't really jive with the trails...

Happy to be outside always! Probably would try this trail again but with a friend in tow...
