Blue job mountain is a great place to hike! Blue job job mountain is a great place to go on a fun family hike. The view is amazing and you can pick blueberries as you walk up the trail. I highly recommend blue job mountain if you want a fun leisure hike!
It was peaceful and the hike wasnt horrible. It was nice to have a pond to sit by after hiking. Great place for relaxing and enjoying nature.
Great hike. Moderate terrain. Quiet in fall. Great views from little blue job peak. Miles of trails networked together by side trails leading all different directions when youre heading to the left of the trail head to little blue job summit. Perimeter trail is a little boggy in spring and fall months. Bring waterproof shoes and snacks. Great for families.
This is one of my favorite places to go for a quick hike.Really beautiful views for little effort any time of year.The top of Little Blue Job has lovely views and many cairns to check out as well as many places to just sit and enjoy the view or have a picnic. Heading up a little steeper and there is a little pond and the very top has a fire tower. Lots of lowbush blueberries everywhere offer an opportunity for a little snack if you time it right!
Great trail for beginners and even my 3 year old son walked from the start all the way to the top
Awesome hike with geocaches. Very peaceful and great exercise
Great, short family friendly hike. Hike to the little blue job summit for great views of the White Mountains. Mt Washington can be seen easily.
This is a great place for a short hike. Climbing to the summit only took 45 minutes or so, and the terrain itself was not difficult. This would be a great climb for kids, or just something to do on an afternoon. The trails around are very scenic and extensive as well. Located not far from the Rochester area, it is close at hand to enjoy.
I love the MT Blue Job Loop to Little Blue Job. Little has the best views in that area.
Another quick hike if your looking to get out and only have limited amount of time. Theres a fire tower top side that provides stellar views. If you have a few extra minutes hike around the backside and enjoy a nice trail that leads to a pond and loops around.
Hiked to Blue Job summit 7/31/18. Climbed up fire lookout tower. The flexible, metal fencing (under/along the hand railing on the top deck of tower) was seriously bent out of shape and some was missing. It seemed vandalized. A potential danger to small children. Also, I heard a rumor that the NH State Police intentionally had the radio tower installed (which is adjacent to the lookout tower) without seeking any prior public input. I, for one, cant stand that behemoth of a monstrosity partly blocking the view. Its an eyesore and it might be emitting powerful microwave radiation at visitors who climb the lookout tower. I dont feel safe hanging out on the lookout tower for too long, due to that unknown factor...
Easy paths and a variety of terrain.
Great short hike love this remote location
Nice easy hike
A great hike for all ages.We first visited as chaperones for a class trip with our child yeara ago. We have returned over the years since.There is some elevation with the hike, and the trails are clearly marked. There is a fire tower at the top pf one of the peaks and its a popular climb to get some spectacular views of the area.A hike for someone of average skill and ability should take about an hour. Parking supports about 20 cars. There are no restrooms.
Great winter hike.
Trail needs some work
Its a short not so challenging hike and the closest to Rochester and Dover. The parking lot has space for about 15 cars, but you can park on the road too.Google maps may not bring you far enough up the road to see the parking lot. Keep going for another 1/8 of a mile and youll see it.Lots of folks bring their dogs. Remember to pick up your dogs poop! Lots of families walk here too.The view from the firetower sumit has a great view facing south and on clear days you can even see Portsmouth and the coast.The lower sumit is a large flat outcrop and a great spot to sit and have a snack before heading back. It also has great views of the white mountains on clear days.From the parking lot you can head left or right. The right path is steeper and brings you to the higher watchtower peak. The left path is flatter and will bring you to the lower summit.Between the two summits is a small pond with turtles and frogs.In late July the lower summit has a bunch of wild blueberries you can pick as well.Overall its a great little mountain, takes less than 1.5 hour round trip including stopping to enjoy the summits.
Great view from the fire tower. Cant wait for a leaf peeping trip.
Great easy hike with great views at the top.
Great easy day hike. About 1 mile up and down.
Great easy hike. Spectacular views.
Great spot to unwind, relieve stress and get some fresh air!
Nice short climb with beautiful views and plentiful blueberries along the way.
Excellent short hike.....
Great place with awesome views and not a lot of people
Lots of different trails to top of wide open mountaintop vistas
Great view from Little Blue Job. Nice easy hike.
Great trails, especially when traveling with dogs
Very easy hike nice views all around.
Great hike...especially in the Fall
Its a great trail. Minus the giant house in the middle of the trailhead.
Awesome view for a short little climb.
This is one of my favorite places in New Hampshire. A beautiful, easy little hike with spectacular, 360° views.
Nice place to hike with the family
Short hike to fire tower and back. Moderately exertional. Lot of black flies.
Very enjoyable walk. Super easy trail to the top. Seems to be very popular as it was busy but the trails make a loop so it didnt feel crowded.
Great views, a must see for any hiker
I love being able to hike with my dog. I also appreciate how close it is to my home, I can get a quick hike in while my kids are in school. The views are beautiful, and its enough of a challenge to make you feel excercised.
Its been a long time since Ive been there, so Im not sure what the hours or rules are like now. But the last time I was there, it was a beautiful hike up theside of the mountain. Couldnt have asked for a better experience!
Amazing views far enough away that you can hear absolute silence along the trails. Great intermediate hike with a big payoff at the peak thanks to the fire tower at the top
Some of the best views this far south of the white mountain region. I believe the trail is roughly a 3 mile loop if you go to Mt. Baldy, which is a fantastic addition to hike if youve only ever done the walk to the fire tower.
#GORGEOUS
Been hiking the trails ever since moving from Oregon. This year (2013) we hit the blueberry harvest at the right time & spent hours eating & harvesting wild low bush blueberries with our 2y8m old son.With three different loops, a fire lookout you can climb up, & the blueberry fields, Blue Job is a great trip for all ages.
Nice quick walking trail
Great view of the fire tower. Trail is well marked, clean, and debree free. We took our 8 month dog kept her on leash. The trail is only 1.5 miles long.
I live in the Rochester of NH and this is an easy after work hike. My two girls (5 and 7) scorch this easy climb. Pet friendly, relaxing and easy to find.
Easy hike for children with excellent views of the valley.
Best views for the least amount of effort. You really need to climb the tower for the views.
Love this place been going there my whole life
Found tons of blueberries and there was turtles in the pond!
Nice hike pretty views got it all
I remember riding our bikes up to the trial back in the 1950s Back then there was a man that stayed in the cabin and watch out for fires. Real friendly guy,Hardley anyone hike up there then.
Such a great little walk in the woods. There are a time of trails that are great for ask skill levels
Short hike with decent views. Some spots are hard to find the blazes, yet trail is easy grade.
Beautiful day.... You can see for miles...
Great little hike with the kids! Awesome view at the top!
Short walk to fire tower. Lots of surrounding connecting trails. Great views.
Blue Job is a quick hike, perhaps 15-30 minutes depending which trail you take. A fire tower at the top looks out over the surrounding forested countryside.
Easy hike with great views. Make sure to go on the backside past the fire tower, where there are even more views
The view from the top is breathtaking!
