Just about any outdoor adventure in Maine will produce incredible views. Even a simple walk in your very own neighborhood will remind you how lucky we are to be surrounded by forest, fresh air, and views. But if you’re looking for a journey that’s a bit more involved, head to Blue Hill for this fun hike with a view like none other!
The 2-mile Blue Hill Trail is fun, fairly simple to follow, and leads to an unexpectedly fantastic view!

The route is considered moderate due in part to the 600-foot elevation gain, but the out-and-back route is fairly simple to follow.

Winding through low forest and making its way slowly towards more open fields, there’s a lot of unique landscape to take in along the way.

While much of the trail is clearly marked, you’ll want to keep an eye out for rocky areas that you’ll find on your way to the top.

And throughout the year you’ll find a different kind of beauty. Fall foliage is on full display just after summer. There’s nothing like the greenery of the spring and summer.
