 | Comments: |
McKay trail is in excellent shape, I noticed that folks were on the ledges around the cell tower so they must be either climbing up via a alternate route not shown on the official map, or taking the former upper route of the McKay trail over to the tower. The upper section of the Bald peak trail descending from the peak to the road is wet,eroded and slippery. I would suggest bypassing it until drier conditions later on in season. |
