A nice easy trail to a great summit - I've been up there 4 times and this is the first time I've ever met people hitting this summit - 2 groups and one very freindly dog! Baldface circle in great shape, slippery brook had numerous patches of mud - some could be avoided but others you just had to plow through or go off trail- with coming lower temps most will hopefully freeze over! Eastman trail clear going with the exception of the few blowdowns. Nice and warm temps and sunny views up top, nice to get another hike in without snow or ice! |
