Attaining the summit of Bald Mountain...

in the western Uinta Mountains of Utah is a moderate but rocky hike, and is also a lung buster if one is not acclimated to the high elevation. The trail steadily climbs 1,250 feet in 1.5 miles to the 11,943 foot (3,640 meter) summit where there are expansive views into four drainages.
