Great hike for people with limited time but want a good view of High Uintas. Climbs steadily to the summit of Bald Mountain over rocky terrain. Spur to Weber River/lake. A number of lakes nearby so good for day, overnight, and weekend trips.

  • High elevation trail
  • Good views of Mirror Lake, other lakes, and High Uintas peaks.
  • Late snow drifts can be challenging.
  • Beware - dangerous lightning
  • Chance of seeing mountain goats
  • Other trails, lakes, and developed camping in the area
