It's a short not so challenging hike and the closest to Rochester and Dover. The parking lot has space for about 15 cars, but you can park on the road too.
Google maps may not bring you far enough up the road to see the parking lot. Keep going for another 1/8 of a mile and you'll see it.
Lots of folks bring their dogs. Remember to pick up your dogs poop! Lots of families walk here too.
The view from the firetower sumit has a great view facing south and on clear days you can even see Portsmouth and the coast.
The lower sumit is a large flat outcrop and a great spot to sit and have a snack before heading back. It also has great views of the white mountains on clear days.
From the parking lot you can head left or right. The right path is steeper and brings you to the higher watchtower peak. The left path is flatter and will bring you to the lower summit.
Between the two summits is a small pond with turtles and frogs.
In late July the lower summit has a bunch of wild blueberries you can pick as well.
Overall it's a great little mountain, takes less than 1.5 hour round trip including stopping to enjoy...

Absolutely worth going too! Bring your kids and dogs too! It's a great hike. Start off with little blue job mountain first. Then on the second time around go to the big blue job mountain!

I promise you will be very happy with this location! It's a must see! I promise you that you will...

Hiked to Blue Job summit 7/31/18. Climbed up fire lookout tower. The flexible, metal fencing (under/along the hand railing on the top deck of tower) was seriously bent out of shape and some was missing. It seemed vandalized. A potential danger to small children. Also, I heard a rumor that the NH State Police intentionally had the radio tower installed (which is adjacent to the lookout tower) without seeking any prior public input. I, for one, can't stand that behemoth of a monstrosity partly blocking the view. It's an eyesore and it might be emitting powerful microwave radiation at visitors who climb the lookout tower. I don't feel safe hanging out on the lookout tower for too long, due to that...
