The white stuff is back

Howie and I did a hike in Southern vermont. We climbed Bald mountain near Bennington. As we went up, the amount of snow went from nothing ... to just a dusting ... to about an inch near the top. I was a little surprised by the amount of snow on this rather low mountain.

The summit is no longer bald (caused by forest fires in the previous century), but is covered with evergreen trees. We didn't see any other hikers except for one couple as we were headed back to the car.

Summit Elevation: Bald 2857 ft
Round-trip Distance: 7.2 mi
Elevation Change: 2160 ft












Intersection just shy of the summit
