Mount Blue State Park & Tumbledown Mountain

Tumbledown is Eric's favorite mountain so we went up to Mount Blue State Park and camped for the weekend. He wanted to go up the Loop Trail as he'd never been before. It was tough! I was fighting off bronchitis at the time so I think it was harder than normal. Be advised though, if you do choose to go up this way, you will basically be rock climbing, not hiking, part of the way. We recommend parking at the brook trail head and descending that trail. You will have to walk up the road to reach the trailhead for the Loop Trail but it was better walking to up the road at the beginning of the hike then having to do it at the end when you're tired and hungry.

If you run into this, you've lost the trail. We somehow climbed up and down this ridiculous thing. Oops


Made it to the top!
