Looking up the Bald Knob Trail
After watching a beautiful sunny day from my window while working, I was itchy to get out for a quick after work hike. Wanting to get a bit of a workout, I decided to head over to Bald Knob.
I was pleased to see the plows had left some room for roadside parking - it can be tough to hike lot-less trails in the winter months due to snowbanks.
The first section of the Bald Knob Trail was frozen granular. After crossing the slightly higher than normal brook, I was soon making my way up the steeper portions of the trail. Other than some random spots of ice and frozen granular, the trail was in decent shape for barebooting.
Arriving at the summit, I wasn't quite sure if I'd be getting any sort of sunset display, as a thick band of clouds had formed to the west. Nonetheless, as time passed, the clouds overhead became rather colorful, making it a worthwhile sunset hike.
