 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Full lot at 10am (about 20 cars), but there's enough room to park at least a dozen more cars on the road. I was surprised there weren't more people, given it was a beautiful Saturday. I'm guessing this trail is too far of a drive for a lot of people. If you prefer solitude, this trail would probably be ideal on a weekday. |

 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Easy, no problems. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
There were a few big blowdowns, but nothing that could not be navigated over/under. Some blazes could use repainting. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Some dogs might struggle going up the steep ledges of South Baldface. Might need some help. |
|
 | Bugs: |
Those annoying little flies were plentiful, but didn't bother me as long as I kept moving. |

 | Comments: |
Absolutely beautiful views from the miles of open ridge line on this clear day. Definitely one of my top 5 fav hikes in NH. Followed others' advice to do the loop clockwise, going up South Baldface first, and glad I did. There are a few steep spots I would much rather go up than down. But I did pass people going counter-clockwise, so I guess it's doable. |
