  • Very peaceful and tranquil. The locals were friendly and very laid back. Met some beautiful ppl on my venture up to Section. Reached the cloudy point and started back down the way. Beautiful coffee shops on the mountain.
  • A truly transcendental experience. The transient tiredness is replaced with views of endless bliss. The journey provides times for reflection and self discovery. Dress comfortably and as light as possible. Take plenty hydration. Avoid over packing. Sweat pants and a sweater.
  • If you are for sightseeing, don't go; it's not worth the money ($10/p entrance fee) and time. The trails are muddy and direction signs are sparse. There are not much to see. If you are a serious hiker, it's another story. If you go from Kingston, don't try to drive yourself. The road is so narrow and there are so many potholes that only local professional drivers can handle it.
  • We rode unicycles down the Blue Mountains. It was an awesome experience.
  • A place like no other in the world-with the perfect scenery and amazing views-to get away from it all. There is also a spot called the Blue Mountain Cafe-that offers the infamous and Signature Coffee and one that will set the mood right-as you embark on a beautiful journey. Enjoy! I know that I did certainly did.
