In reading about Bald Mountain, it isn't bald. It has 4 named view points. I would find out, considering it's winter, it's a stretch to call these view points.

With my snowshoes resting in my storage unit hundreds of miles away, I would bareboot the entire way. Chris Hiker is not a fan of barebooting. In fact it's one of his pet peeves. Unfortunately, we did not get much snow from Juno, so I only postholed a couple times. Still, snowshoes would have been nice.

Bald mountain is located a few miles outside Rutland. There is a 3.5 mile loop of trails on the mountain. I started around 3pm to enjoy the low sun shining on Pico and Killington. The views were nothing really to talk about, but the hike was. I mostly walked through a hardwood forest, with some sections of evergreens. Very pleasant. Despite the heavy winds, most of the trees were covered in snow. I love the sight of this.
