Bald Mountain

Bald Mountain is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 2.814m (9,232ft) above the sea level, located in southern Douglas County, in the northwestern part of the U.S. state of Nevada.

The summit is located within the Pine Nut Mountains. It’s very rough, tippy and bumpy at times. The road is usually impassable in winters. Great trail for experienced wheelers. The trail is narrow with few places for passing so meeting someone can be a challenge. During the summer, the road is very rough and has loose rock in some places. In the winter, the road is not plowed. From the summit, there are tremendous views of the Sierra Nevada to the west, as well as Topaz Lake to the south. Keep an eye on the weather for thunderstorms and lightning. The road goes all the way to the summit. The trail is very steep. There can be some small mud holes on the trail that are usually just deep enough to reach the wheel rim. The road is 4WD, although 2WD can make it, preferably use a vehicle with some higher clearance. There are a lot of rocks on the road, and some ditches and tricky areas.
