Baldface Circle Trail Trailhead — Attraction in Chatham

I went on this hike Saturday October 14th. We started at 7am and ended at 2:30pm. It was a beautiful fall day and a incredible hike. It has a little bit of everything, a beautiful brook/stream with swimming holes and small waterfalls, a easy walking part in the woods. Some moderate rock scrambles.

Trail was pretty well marked. Would...

The granite face just above the lean-to is treacherous when wet and is a steep pitch but very passable when dry. Although much of the trail is fine, I don't recommend this one for dogs. Well worth the effort for those seeking a...
