Bald Ledge
New Hampton, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Bald Ledge Trail
Route: Bald Ledge Trail
First portion (road portion) of Bald Ledge Trail was a bit beaten up by bareboot traffic. Snowshoes allowed enough floatation to wander off the footbed to avoid some of it while staying above the crust.
After the gate, there was a decently frozen snowshoe bed with minimal postholes. While one could bareboot it right now, any above freezing temperatures would thaw it into a soft mess. Snowshoes were ideal.
Overall, snowpack is probably 1-2 feet, perhaps more in shaded areas.
