“Met 4 hikers and one dog on the trail. Went up the ledges above Baldface shelter, nice and dry and a good challenge. This trail got me some exercise to help me with getting over my unease with heights.”

“Great Spring warmup loop. Weather and views were great. No major snow or ice issues, the only snow now is in the deep saddles on Meader Ridge but traction is definitely not needed on this loop. Honestly the pesky beech leaves were the challenge of the day, both with the ascent of the Meader knee and the descent down Baldface Circle.”
Trail: Baldface Circle Trail, Bicknell Ridge Trail, Meader Ridge Trail, Mt. Meader Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail
“A chilly morning to start the hike with temps in the low 40s, but that's my kind of hiking weather! The two Bicknell Ridge relocations are lower down between the bottom of the trail and Eagle Cascade Link. The first is 0.7 mi. up and is short, only about 0.1 mi., and just swings out around an eroded spot. The second is 1.0 mi. up and is longer at 0.3 mi., and uses switchbacks to keep things gentle. Together, they lengthen the trail by 0.1 mi. Beautiful open ledge walking over to Eagle Crag then a steep descent back into the woods along Meader Ridge Trail. No views until to you get to the N end of the trail. The view at the end of the spur path is ok but partially blocked by trees. The WMG mentions an excellent view at the junction with Mt. Meader Trail but there's no view now. Perhaps it's because it was at the end of a long day but I can't say I was a fan of Mt. Meader Trail. Very steep at the top (like Sandwich Range steep) in the switchbacks then once on the easier terrain it felt like a long straight death march. But again, I was pretty tired at that point. All in all though, a fantastic day in the Evans Notch area!”

Rising to 3,030 feet in the Baldface Range of New Hampshire's White Mountains, this rugged summit offers a rewarding challenge for experienced hikers seeking a less-traveled objective. The approach involves steep, demanding terrain that earns its Difficult rating, with rocky scrambles and sustained elevation gain testing hikers' endurance and route-finding skills. Near the summit, limited but meaningful above-treeline exposure rewards persistence with views across the surrounding peaks and valleys of the Evans Notch region. Eagle Crag's position within the Baldface Range places it among dramatic granite terrain characteristic of this eastern corner of the White Mountains. As a member of the 52 With a View (52 WAV) peak list, it attracts peak-baggers drawn to its combination of genuine challenge and scenic reward. The relative remoteness of this area compared to more popular White Mountain destinations gives Eagle Crag a quieter, more wilderness-like character.
