Please read the description of this hike. Failure to do so will result in being turned away at the meetup location/trailhead. This to ensure the safety of you and the rest of the group. Carpooling will be done informally outside of Ridj-it for the time being. Feel free to comment/message on the trip page or Meetup and we can get everything planned out (gas, where to meet, etc.). This trip will be limited to 4 people. However, don't sign up until you let me know you're interested in going so everything runs smoothly. Don't sign up for this trip if you're showing symptoms or have been recently diagnosed with COVID-19 within the last three weeks. No carpool will be offered for this trip per Ridj-it reopening guidelines - stay tuned for more information regarding this going forward. However, as mentioned above, carpooling will be coordinated outside of Ridj-it. Be a team player!
Description:
Bag two 52 with a view mountains in the White's, North and South Baldface (3,560 ft. and 3,600 ft. respectively). Both offer panoramic views of the White Mountains to the west and the Mahoosuc Mountain in Maine to the north. We'll be taking the Baldface Circle Trail from the parking area in a clockwise loop. At the junction, we'll be making a left towards South Baldface first, followed by North Baldface. We'll then hike down the Baldface Circle Trail back towards the junction and the parking area. The total hike will be 9.5 miles in a loop.
