Looking down the spur trail to Bald Mountain
Route: Bald Mountain-Artist's Bluff Path, spur trail, (Bald Mountain), spur trail, Bald Mountain-Artist's Bluff Path
After a nice hike in the Presidentials, I decided to get a little more exercise on the Artist's Bluff Path. While the trail was virtually snow free up to Bald Mountain, the section from there to Artist's Bluff was still well endowed with snow.

Directions to trailhead: Take I-93 North to the Cannon Mountain (Peabody Slopes, not the Tramway) exit. Directly across from the main Cannon entrance, there is an off-season hiker parking area along the road. The trailhead is at the back of the (fenced off in the off-season) large parking lot.
