Blue Mountain Lakes [7+ Miles]

This is an easy-moderate, very scenic hike that let's you visit as many as four small lakes (Lower & Upper Blue Mountain Lakes, Hemlock Pond & Crater Lake) in the Delaware Water Gapr National Recreation area (DWGNRA). About 1,000 ft total elevation gain.

Bring plenty of water and snacks, and appropriate seasonal items (sun- and insect-protection in summer, and crampons in winter). Day-of-hike-only phone: 201-513-8823 (Anthony).
