Hiking
Bald Mountain sits at 2,857 feet and is a popular summit in large part due its accessibility from the town of Bennington and scenic position. The name Bald Mountain likely comes from when a forest fire in the early 20th century burned the most of the vegetation on the summit. Although the trees have regrown since then, and obscure some of the views, you can still see through them to east and south from the top of this lovely peak in the Green Mountains.
