Bald Ridge Trail

Bald Ridge Trail https://www.blm.gov/visit/bald-ridge-trail This horseback riding and hiking trail winds for five miles through BLM-managed public lands and state land to Bald Ridge in the Shoshone National Forest. The elevation ranges from 4,880’-8,400’. Spectacular views of the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River to the west and of Heart Mountain to the east await you. The trail is steep and arduous requiring good physical condition of both humans and horses. The trail is marked by trail signs, and then rock cairns as it winds up Bald Ridge. The middle and upper portions are not marked or constructed; users must pick their own route up the mountain.
