Mount Blue, Mountain peak in White Mountains, New Hampshire, United States.
Mount Blue is a summit in the White Mountains that rises to about 4,500 feet with steep sides covered in northern hardwood forests and alpine plant life. Several trails connect this peak with adjacent mountains, creating a network of hiking routes through the area.
The peak got its name during early exploration of the White Mountains in the 1700s when settlers used it as a landmark for navigation. Later it became part of the hiking tradition that developed across New England.
The peak draws hikers from throughout the region who come to experience the rugged terrain and forest landscapes that define outdoor recreation in this area.
Hikers should wear sturdy boots and bring weather protection since conditions can change quickly on the mountain. The trails are demanding and require good fitness and careful attention to trail markers.
The summit is technically independent from its neighbor despite rising only slightly above the surrounding ridges. This distinction interests peak collectors and hikers who track all mapped summits in the region.
