Looking down the Bald Mountain Trail
Route: Bald Mountain Trail
With some daylight to spare after dinner, I opted for a quick hike up Bald Mountain.
The lower part of the trail from Bald Mountain Road was fairly tame, however the upper portion featured some somewhat steep ledgy areas.
The views from the observation tower were superb - both of the lakes below and the high peaks beyond.
After a short exploration of the top of the abandoned ski area, I headed back down.
