I love this hike on Maple Mountain, starting on the Blue trail going down and along the Yellow trail along the ocean. I decided to lead this hike today for the OCV and Island Mountain Ramblers. Instead of following the Yellow till the end and then up to the Blue, I have found a way up through the ridges and forest to the Blue Trail.
9 of us had a good time, some never having been on the hike. What a beautiful sunny day, but the winds were brisk along the ocean.
Thanks for the pictures from fellow hikers.
Yellow trail on maple mtn is very dangerous now may 2026. the trail along cliff side in spots has caved in. Make trail very difficult to walk. We are on all fours in certain spots, hugging mtn with no support. It should have 2 diamonds , not blue moderate. Or closed.
