Bald Mountain Round 2

This past October, my friend, Katie, and I hiked Bald Mountain in Westmore, VT. Unfortunately for us, the weather was not very favorable for a summit with a fire tower with supposed sprawling views.

Looking out from the rickety firetower.

Luckily for me, I headed back up to the Northeast Kingdom with my family for the week between Christmas and New Year’s. My family loves to ski, but due to unseasonably warm weather the trails at Burke Mountain weren't in the greatest shape. So instead of hitting the slopes, I got to share one of my favorite hikes in the area with my Mom.

The cabin at the summit: Cozy!
Looking South: The distant ski slopes of Burke Mountain can be seen in the center.
