Bald Mountain is a 11949feet peak in the western Uinta Mountain Range in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest on the border between Summit and Wasatch counties in northeastern Utah, United States.
The mountain has a prominence of 1823feet[1] and is home to mountain goats, pika, and a number of species of wildflowers. Utah State Route 150 (SR‑150) passes just east of the mountain.
The summit can be reached by the Bald Mountain Trail (National Forest Trail 3202),[2] [3] beginning at Bald Mountain Pass on SR‑150,. The trail provides views of the surrounding areas. The maintained trail[2] gains 1250feet of elevation in 1.4miles and due to the high elevation (the trailhead is about 10700feet 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.
