One of the more popular trails near Red Feather Lakes, Bald Mountain offers a little of everything in a mountain trail experience. This 4WD trail winds through burnt-out remains of a dense Lodge-pole Pine forest as it climbs to nearly 11,000 feet. The trail offers a variety of experiences as you head west on this 13-mile journey. It is known for its rocky mid-section and then its muddy path near the trail's end. This route is a true 4WD experience to escape the summer heat. Bald Mountain is the middle leg of the route known as the Mud Loop, which includes Seven Mile, Bald Mountain, and Green Ridge Road.
