 | Comments: |
West Baldpate isn't bald, but the views really open up after crossing the wooded summit and starting down toward East Baldpate, which lives up to its name. Great views from there in all directions. Spoke to one thru hiker and saw several others. This was the perfect Labor day weekend hike, away from all the obvious points of interest. |
