    Accessible Peaks in Western Maine during the Wintertime

    Bald Mountain in Weld is a great winter hike with a parking area on the side of RT 156. It's short, steep, and very open/exposed on top. Great views of Tumbledown, Mount Blue and the entire Webb Lake basin.

    No, pet dogs are not allowed in Baxter State Park.
