Baldpate Mtn. 9/29/19

The final hike that I needed to finish off the New England Hundred Highest list. It was a great hike and awesome to finish on a peak with good trails, great views, and even some foliage to look at. This hike was a very enjoyable hike and one I would certainly do again. It was a bit cool and breezy, but it was nice and sunny with great views. All total the hike was 8.76 miles with 3,579 feet of total elevation gain

  • After rain yesterday afternoon and a cloudy start to the day, it's good to see the skies clearing
  • An early section of trail gradually gaining elevation
  • The first and only real brook crossing
  • The brook comes down over this exposed section of rock
  • Some yellow leaves adding color to the trail, both on the trees and on the ground
  • There was a nice mostly level section of trail that made for some quick hiking
  • Climbing up to the west peak, the trail has started to get steep now
  • A fun section of exposed rock along the trail
  • A section of exposed rock
  • Some interesting stairs built into the trail
  • Since this trail is the Appalachian Trail it gets heavy use, so there was lots of nice rock work along the route
  • The view of Baldpate Mtn from its West Peak
  • Rocky slabs of the east peak. I expected the trail to go around this at least somewhat, but it pretty much goes right up the stretch on the left
  • Looking to the north from West Peak
  • Just after the high point of the West Peak is this small open area before heading down into the trees
  • Down into the col between the peaks, there is a small bog that has bridges to cross it
  • A closer look at the bog bridges
  • Getting closer to the higher East Peak
  • Looking back towards the West Peak on the left with Old Speck on the right further in the background
  • Looking northwest from the col between the peaks
