Trip Report/Photos
Featured Photo Thanks to everyone who came out for the Baldface Loop today! The weather was beautiful (at times) and it was an excellent welcome to the fall season. Although the views from both South and North Baldface were obscured by cloud cover, the views on the way up and down were amazing–with vibrant fall yellows and oranges already peppering the landscape. Everyone did great on the scrambles up to South Baldface, even Bruce's dog, Bear (though he may have needed the occasional assist). Towards the end of the hike we stopped by Emerald Pool. A few guys swam, and Jim and Miles were brave enough to jump into the chilly water from the rocks! Overall, it was a great day of socializing and soaking in the beauty of New Hampshire.
