Blodgett Canyon Overlook Trail

Super special!! Trail follows the creek most of the way. Extremely pleasant and scenic!! No steep drop-offs. — just easy pleasure. Enjoyed it so much that I hiked it two days in a row!

Tip: Spend the night a Blodget Campground at base. It’s free, small, and quiet! No water and you need to pack out what you pack in. Camp host, Chris, is a fascinating individual and has encyclopedic knowledge about nature and wildlife. Be sure to have a chat with him!!!

For my first hike it was a amazing start . Make sure you have good shoes with plenty of traction , at one section you have to go thru a forest which is mostly made up of prickly evergreen trees . The view is amazing and totally worth the drive up . Not very much parking and kind of a narrow drive up .

After having done bear creek overlook this trail is not a super good view in comparison. An easy hike though for all ages young-elderly.

Did this hike in the afternoon after having done the Blodgett Canyon hike earlier in the day. Maybe that's why I think it a little tougher than the "easy" designation would indicate.

Super easy hike with a great reward ! Bring bear spray and enjoy the wildflowers :)

Lots of wildflowers right now! Heavily trafficked. Past the second bench there is a side trail up to a rocky outlook on the south side of the mountain which was fun but dangerously steep on loose dirt in a few spots, you need good traction and balance and perhaps a touch of willingness to do some sliding on your butt coming back down. At the overlook at the end of the trail there are several spots to go exploring out on rocks to get even better views. Great trail overall.

Takes a little effort to get to the end but very cool once you do. Large open area where you could picnic, relax, rest, etc. The worst part I thought was the drive up. I have a fairly new car and the unpaved road is very rough. Glad I went on a week night after work as there didn’t seem like there was much parking.

Awesome hike. My boys even said it was easy. Views are spectacular this spring!!!!

I agree with previous poster. it was a beautiful hike, but was surprised at the steep climb. Strenuous at times for an old gal like me, but the view was well worth the struggle.

Beautiful view the whole way! The trails were a bit more narrow and steeper than expected but still easy enough for a novice hiker such as myself.

Still a great trail in December. Found minimal ice, completed in 45 minutes. the wind coming out of the canyon at the top was brutal at 30 degrees in the valley so dress warm.

Nice easy trail. Nice views of the valley and mountains

well went on the trail to get some pictures lost my drone if any finds send me an email plez thanks soldadomalo1@gmail.com

great hike.. not hard.. but i wouldn't say easy for beginners..

We got married on this lookout:) spectacular.

This hike is moderately easy. There are two resting lookout benches to sit on on the way and then one at the top to sit on to enjoy the beautiful view. The trail is nice. The views are absolutely amazing. This is one of my favorite hikes in the area.

Short, good workout, very rewarding view! We usually do this one a few times a year with kids as young as 5.

Beautiful walk! Really enjoyed the view and the breeze at the top!

Beautiful views from the top, trail in excellent condition. Easy even in 90 degree heat, nice breeze at top.

View was great. Didn't make it to the end, only about 1/2 way.

Nice moderate climb.

this is a very simple hike with stunning views at the end. worth every bit of the trip! you will LOVE the pictures you get from this hike!

It was a great hike for starting out this season. Beautiful day too.

Excellent trail. Beautiful views. We will be back

Smooth and easy little hike. The incline is gradual and the view is certainly worth the hike. Pretty good chance you'll see other hikers. There is a great variety of flora if your interested in bringing a field guide.

Awesome hike for anybody lookin for a quick, easy, and fun hike!

This hike was amazing because it is an easy 1.4 miles in and 1.4 out, the view at the top of the overlook is incredible and breathtaking. You are able to see canyon in its entire beauty.

Love love love this trail! Perfect little out and back with an absolutely stunning view of Blodgett canyon and easy enough to do with my mom who has a total knee.

Short hike with great reward at the end. Get out and do this while the fall colors are out, it's gorgeous!
