Pokadot Chicken Stream Walk at Baldpate Mt

3-4 hrs, 8-11 miles, brisk pace, some steep hills, varied beautiful area, some exploring, creek valley exploration, pokadot chicken farm, color fresh eggs for sale (not Easter eggs),

There are many cool routes around Baldpate Mtn. Recently a new section of trails opened up which I think are the most fun to explore. There are many and varied types of trails. Some very small, single file, some large. Some trails twist and turn and go up and down. Some just go up and up with some downs too. At one point, if we have a clear day we'll be able to see for 50-100 miles. In one area we'll walk right along a bubbling creek and try to cross. The creek valley area is the most fun to explore.

Sometimes trail maintenance is slack at Baldpate, so clippers will help clear some sticker plants.
