Bald Hill
Marlow, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Looking up the Sands Trail
Route: Sands Trail, McIntire Trail, Gage Trail
Saw the sign for this (Bald Mountain Preserve) on my way back from a business meeting last week, so I decided to stop in while passing through today.
The Gage Trail is sort of an old woods road. The McIntire Trail wasn't well travelled or easy to follow. The Sands Trail was pretty fun, as it weaves up through the ledges (passing by some rock climbing areas) to the summit.
Decent directional views into Vermont from the Sands Trail. Also a directional view just past the summit on the McIntire Trail.
