Bald Mountain — Local services in Hideout

In terms of peaks to summit I would say this ranks in the "Fairly Easy" category and the reward at the top is worth it! Awesome views of the Uinta Mountains and the Wasatch running perpendicular in the distance. Don't get me wrong it's still an ascent of around 1500ft starting at 10,700ft above sea level so breathing will be more labored and fatigue will set in quicker.

Even those trails that were mostly clear of snow were very wet and ...

I wasn't expecting huge things from this hike, for this mountain from the distance doesn't look all that exciting, but it was super interesting. (That means a lot from me for I hike a lot.) The trail was just so interesting all the way up The views of all the lakes going up was neat ( I think there was 20 lakes I counted ) The top was different than I expected and the views from the top were spectacular. I did a 360 path for google maps/Earth/blog of the trail. You can see it by going to Google Earth, search Bald Mountain, click on the little dude, and then click on any blue section you want to...
