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.
