Not to be confused with the Bald Mountain Jeep Trail, This Bald Mountain is located northwest of Roanoke, traveling straight through from the paved Peaceful Valley Road to the Forest Road Lignite Mines. The road starts steep and narrow and is comprised of degraded pavement, gravel, dirt, and rock at the beginning. Users should anticipate protruding rocks, shallow water/mud holes, and tight brush pinstriping through the remainder of the trail. Once at the high points, views open up to the east, and at its highest point resides a clearing for unparalleled views to the west. Any aggressive high clearance vehicle with four low gearing can manage the road under normal conditions.
