Bald Mountain

On the day with the best weather prediction, we hiked up Bald Mountain in Oquossoc. The is relatively short and the summit has a tower that provides views in all directions. This was a great peak for our first hike together as a family. The hike was a total of 2.89 miles and the overall elevation gain was only 949 feet. There were more clouds than expected, but the views were still great. The light wind and lower than predicted temps keep us from getting too hot

  • The trail starts off pretty gentle with some exposed roots
  • A bit further up, the roots turn to rocks and the trail got a bit more damp and muddy in places
  • Liliana enjoying her first mountain hike
  • Someone sure looks happy to be hiking today
  • She sure knows how to ham it up for the camera
  • A slug making it's way across a rock to some water
  • A large tree with a bit of a scar next to the trail
  • Fungus growing on a dead tree
  • Still having fun on her first hike. She constantly leaned to the left in order to see where she was going. This made is to Melissa had to lean to the right some to compensate
  • The trail getting a bit steeper and starting to include some larger areas of rock
  • An exposed rock section of the trail
  • The slug appears to have almost fallen while climbing the tree. It's barely held on by a string of slime
  • Liliana had a smile all day on this hike
  • The trees are getting thicker in the wet section of trail
  • A small brook running across the trail
  • This was about as tricky as the trail got
  • A partial few from the trail
  • Someone is wondering why we stopped
  • Probably the trickiest spot on the trail. Mostly because it was damp and you needed long legs to step up easily. There was a bit of a bypass on the left though
  • Exposed rock shortly before the summit
