Comments
Comments: The ascent up the ledge area beyond the South Baldface shelter is exhilarating as it necessitates use of hands as well as legs. The ridge walk is generally easy on mainly open ledges interspersed with areas of tree cover. Lots of delicious blueberries to eat on the ledges. Great scenery above tree line! Eagle Cascade which is 0.3 off the Baldface Circle trail had a meager flow over a mossy ledge at this time of year. Visited this cascade during the Spring thaw when it was quite a sight. Kids jumping off ledges in to Emerald Pool. Only saw two trees across the trail; one on descent from Eagle Crag and the other on Eagle Cascade Link.
