Bald Mountain Road - Arapaho National Forest

Bald Mountain Road was once a bustling supply road between the town of Central City and the outlaying mines. Now it is a sleepy back road through the scenic hills past private ranches and summer cabins. There are at least six cemeteries in the vicinity of the trailhead off of Bald Mountain Road, Columbine Campground Road and Upper Apex Road. The easiest one to see from Bald Mountain Road is the International Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery. You do pass several mines along the way but there is not much of them left to see or they are hidden back on private property. There are several well-preserved mines to see if you continue down Nevadaville Road. When combined with Bald Mountain Lane, Bald Mountain Road provides one of the main access points into the Yankee Hill network of 4x4 trails.
