Summary
This is a great hike with spectacular views especially during fall foliage. The hike is a loop - slightly under 10 miles. Starting at the Baldface Circle Trailhead we will take the following trails on our ascent: Baldface Circle Trail, Slippery Brook Trail, Baldface Knob Trail, then back on the Baldface Circle Trail again. The Slippery Brook Trail will bypass most of the steep scramble up South Baldface (which can be very tricky at best). Our descent will continue on the Baldface Circle Trail – to finish our loop.
“…The spectacular loop over the Baldfaces provides some of the most enjoyable open ledge hiking in the White Mountains. In addition to the stunning vistas of a more remote corner of the White Mountains from the two open summits of South and North Baldface, there is almost four miles of hiking with views all around you…”
Estimated Elevation Gain: 3,425 feet

- I Need A Ride
- Comment: I would like to go on the hike in chatham NH South & North Baldface on Oct 13. I live in Cambridge and don't have a car and I would need a ride from the Boston area. If any one is going from Boston and staying over night either before the hike or after it I would like to know. richard olshausen
