Bald Mountain Trail

Starting at the Bald Mountain Trailhead, this trail joins the Notch Mountain Trail #81 for a short distance before branching off right to begin climbing the flanks of Bald Mountain in earnest. Don't expect much in the way of breaks from the grade along this climb, so be sure to take your time and stop to catch your breath when necessary. Eventually, the trail trades climbing switchbacks for climbing along the spine of the ridgeline. Once you've paid your dues slogging up the ridge, the trail crests the ridge, and the summit comes into view. Enjoy the fantastic views you've earned as a reward before making your way back the way you came.
