OUR NOTES
We visited Blue Nose June 2026 with Luke Channer. The road still had enough snow that we had to park the car and hike up a short distance. The mountain was completely socked in with an early summer storm that dropped snow to the south of us.
Blue Nose is a favorite of so many and we see why. What an incredibly unique lookout that has the log cribbing and an interior set of stairs!
Unfortunately the lookout has seen many harsh winters and it looking rundown, in need of a little TLC.
