Details
Our Pride Hike to one of the most magnificent hikes in the White Mountains with a fun social mixer to follow at a local restaurant!
Celebrate Gay Pride with Mike and Jon on this 9.8 mile loop hike with 3,500 feet elevation gain up South Baldface [3,556 ft.] and North Baldface [3,566 ft.]. We will distribute rainbow flags at the trailhead to stick outside of our packs as we hike in solidarity with our brothers and sisters at Boston Pride!
The Baldface Circle Trail is one of the most magnificent hikes in the White Mountains with nearly 4 miles of open ledge rivaling the northern Presidentials in terms of views. Steep scramble up side of South Baldface may make some people nervous.
