Came for the deer and was almost disappointed, but on the way back we ran into 8 grazing.
This trail has some EXTREMELY steep parts, almost Mailbox-esque. Definitely didn't expect it. The last mile is relatively flat, unless you want to go up to Blue Mountain summit. I passed since I didn't have gear for it. It's not super steep or long, but the snow was at least 12-16 inches. I suppose you could off trail it and go up the front.
There is still snow on the road to Blue Mountain. Good views, but possibly better from the summit
