Mountain Biking Bald Mountain Trail
#626 of 1,392 mountain bike trails in Colorado
The trail is short with a really steep section, that is also short... Ride the trail CCW, about 10 times. Going CW there is a 5 foot technical section that is tough because you're going so slow uphill. The view from the top of Bald Mountain is spectacular, and the trail is nice winding through the trees. You're in mountain lion country (posted at the trail head), so bring your slower friends.

From Boulder Head west on Mapleton. Once it turns into Sunshine Canyon Drive (County Road 52), go about 4.5 miles until you get to the Bald Mountain Scenic Area on the south side of the road.
Not very fun. Agree with the other reviews that it is better suited for hiking.
| ThankMore of a Hiking trail than a Mountain Bike Trail.
Too short and not worth the drive.
The ascent to the peak from the south is almost impossible (too much loose sand and rocks).
Some of the trail is beginner but some of it is intermediate. My "beginner" daughter crashed hard coming down from the peak (going north).
There is a small technical section coming down from the peak that is definitely not "beginner". I made it on my 29er).
