Description

Bald Mountain Trail
The summit can be reached by the Bald Mountain Trail (National Forest Trail 3202),[4][5] beginning at Bald Mountain Pass on SR‑150,.[3] The trail provides views of the surrounding areas. The maintained trail[4] gains 1,250 feet (381 m) of elevation in 1.4 miles (2.3 km) and due to the high elevation (the trailhead is about 10,700 feet [3,300 m] above sea level) it is a moderately strenuous hike with no shade. The hike to the summit can be completed in 2 to 3 hours round trip. The trail does commonly have snow.
