9 months agoA multi-summit access trail up in one of the Eagle River neighborhoods. During late summer, this gets busy as people go out to start picking blueberries. In the mid and early summer, you'll find people making short trips up to Iron Nipple and Blueberry Hill to the left or Tucker Point and Mile High Peak off to the right. This is also a great spot to park a vehicle if you want to do the Baldy to Blueberry Hill Ridgeline. Pretty sure it's in the 20-ish mile range. Great late-summer all-day trip if you're up for the challenge.
