 | Comments: |
Highly recommended ~12.3 mi loop hike with visits to Eastman and Eagle Crag along the way (3750 ft elev gain total). Plus, you skip the sketchy, steepest ledges on the approach to S. Baldface on Baldface Circle, so that is a bonus if you aren't a fan of ledges. Trails are in great shape, overall. Every one of these four summits, and Baldface Knob, is great-to-spectacular on its own, and putting them all together makes for an epic hike.
