Blue Hill Mountain Osgood Trail- Blue Hill Heritage Trust — Attraction in Blue Hill

Great well maintained trail and a fun strenous hike that ends in great panoramic views. Make sure you have good hiking shoes or trail runners, you'll need them to scramble up and down the rocks on the steep trails.
