Trails Used

Baldface Circle Trail, Meader Ridge Trail

Trail Conditions

Notes

Met 4 hikers and one dog on the trail. Went up the ledges above Baldface shelter, nice and dry and a good challenge. This trail got me some exercise to help me with getting over my unease with heights.

Parking

No issues plenty of parking

Water Crossings

All water crossing were achievable.

Wildlife

Lots of mosquitos and black flies. Due to the wind they weren't much of an issue.

Also on this trip

Trails Used

Road Walk, Mount Meader Trail, Meader Ridge Trail, Baldface Circle Trail

Trail Conditions

Notes

Great Spring warmup loop. Weather and views were great. No major snow or ice issues, the only snow now is in the deep saddles on Meader Ridge but traction is definitely not needed on this loop. Honestly the pesky beech leaves were the challenge of the day, both with the ascent of the Meader knee and the descent down Baldface Circle.

Parking

Second at 6AM, half full with plenty of room for more by 11.

Water Crossings

All small crossings easy. Charles Brook on decent took a minute but flows aren't terribly high.

Wildlife

None, cool and breezy.
