Bald Pate Mountain south of Bridgton (not to be confused with the mountain in Grafton Notch).
Trails were mostly dry and in good shape. Pate Trail is steep and somewhat rugged (and a little hard to follow in places), but goes by the actual south facing ledge and thus has nice views. Multiple directional viewpoints near the top of the mountain. A few tiny, avoidable patches of black ice on the eastern side of the loop.
From the road to the summit via Micah/South Face/Pate was just under .7 mile. From summit back down via South Face (clockwise)/Micah was just over 1 mile. |
