March 26, 2016 Blue Heron Loop Trail Distance: 7.4 Miles Difficulty: Moderate The Blue Heron Loop combines history, geology and scenery. Hikers will get a glimpse of what life was like in a company owned coal mining camp by visiting Ranger Mary to the Blue Heron Mining Camp. The opening to old coal mines may still be seen. Part of the trail actually follows an old mining tram road. The trail also climbs to the gorge rim where it passes by two spectacular overlooks. The trail goes through a natural opening in the cliff known as "Cracks in the Rocks". Meet Ranger Mary at 10 AM at the Blue Heron Overlook parking area and don't be surprised to find wildflowers along the way!
