Review & FAQ:
The two Baldface Mountain peaks – North Baldface at 3,566 feet and South Baldface at 3,556 feet – are often overlooked by hikers chasing more popular peaks that are over 4,000 feet. But what makes them so attractive is the fact that a big part of Baldface is above the tree line, which means that the ridge loop provides hikers with almost continuous views in all directions, in particular a spectacular view of Mount Washington as it looms above the Carter Range. The barren eastern spur of South Baldface has an interesting, often slippery, section with ledges, but after you pass the spur, you will climb the summit and all of a sudden there is Mount Washington in front of you in all its glory. North Baldface is a bit higher, but the views of Mount Washington are obstructed by the Carter Range. Also, the trails are less challenging. The main trail to both peaks is the Baldface Circle Trail.
