The trek up the Baldfaces is one of my favorite hikes in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The steep, exposed trail leads up overlapping granite ledges to a gently sloping summit with great views of the surrounding peaks.

The fast-changing weather in the Whites often leads to neat meteorological effects! As we hiked up to the south summit of the Baldfaces in the morning, the low-lying clouds warmed up and flowed up into
the valleys. But they never quite reached us - the clouds evaporated about halfway up, leaving clear skies above.

In addition to views of surrounding peaks, the clear skies provided great conditions to watch a small flock cedar waxwings fly about the low lying trees on the summit. Cedar waxwings aren't particularly rare, but their distinct eye-masks make them a fun bird to watch!
