Bald Mtn. (Antrim)

[MonadnockVol]

What a pretty hike this was.

in the foreground. I believe the water is Lake Nubanusit.)

I'd never been here before but read about it in Adamowicz's Hiking the Monadnock Region and also on NH Mountain Hiking.

I hiked the Tudor trail, bushwhacked a little north of Willard Pond and then took Bald Mtn and Tamposi trails back to the car. Nary a cloud in the sky and a stiff breeze meant that I got by without repellent (although during a couple of "lulls" I received many bites). This would be a fantastic place to hike with children (after bug season).

This is one of my favorite area hikes, and the only place that I have seen a deer while hiking. There are usually loons in Willard pond to listen to, and blueberries in season.

I did see a loon come up from a dive, with a fish in its mouth, while I was there today.

Yay, you're still alive AND HIKING! What a great encouragement you are.

Very nice! This one flew under my radar....never even knew about it. I am always looking for local hikes (the Uncanoonucs are practically in my backyard) for spring time jaunts when I want to avoid the snow up north. Something to add to the to-do list, thanks!
