Need to Know

It is important to note that the end of this trail is very strange. It ends at the boundary of the Guilford Lakes Golf Course. However, this is not a trailhead and does not offer any parking. But the end of this trail is near North Madison Road.

Description

This trail splits off of the White Trail and, as its name suggests, is blazed with a blue rectangle with a white dot.

The trail begins with a rolling hike up and down a few small hills. Eventually, the trail dips down and a large rock formation to the right. Here, the Blue Cross Trail splits off to the right. The trail continues up an incline and turns to the right up the aforementioned rock formation. It follows this ridge on its western edge and offers wonderful, if not incredibly scenic, views of the surrounding treetops.

As the trail exits the ridge it descends a small rockfall. This area does require some scrambling. It then switchbacks and climbs once again. Here, the trail widens and continues to its terminus.
