AT Day 137: Baldpate Peaks & Wyman Mountain

Daily Miles: 16.3, Total Miles: 1,946.3

A later start this morning but I had to take care of a few things.

A 2,400′ vertical climb was a rough start to the day – more alpine bogs near the top. Got up and over the mountain slab granite summits of the Baldpate Peaks, nice views to be had. At the end of a long descent were Dunn Cascades and upper Dunn Falls, a nice break for a late lunch. Good looking swimming holes were a temptation but I kept moving. Fortunately a more gradual climb up Wyman Mountain with a view down to Andover Valley.

I set up my tent just a bit further along at Hall Mountain Lean-to. Better late than never – just a few sprinkles. I’ve mentioned the green tunnel and how it can’t get any greener. Hard to believe but it actually has for the past few weeks. The green moss on the rocks and trees add even more shades of green.
