| Bald Mountain, VT, 01/01/07 Bald Mountain, VT Date Hiked: 01/07/07 Trails(s) Hiked: Bald Mountain Trail Total Distance: 3.4 miles Difficulty: Moderate Conditions: Clear, wet Special Required Equipment: None I had been curious about Bald Mountain for some time - I had seen it mentioned numerous times on various hiking sites, however I hadn't seen any photos or first hand reviews. The day after a 70 degree January day, I decided to give it a shot. There wasn't a soul to be found anywhere around the park. The second crossing over the Negro Brook was certainly a pain, as the rocks were submerged in the rushing water. After a few minutes of looking around, I found a few logs across the brook downstream. Most of the hike is moderately pitched, with the exception of a short, steep section near the summit. Upon reaching the summit, I was greeted with strong views of both the west and east. Though often described as a loop, the downhill trail was marked closed, thus forcing me to go back down the same trail. ![]() Mt. Monadnock seen over Putney Mountain |
