Nordic Pulse

All trails on Bald Mountain are non-motorized, and electric mountain bikes (e-bikes) are not allowed. Additionally, mountain service roads not designated as part of the trail system are closed to bike traffic.

Hiking: Hikers have numerous options on Baldy, with Trail #201 being the most direct and popular route. Beginning at the River Run Base Area, it follows the Big Wood River before climbing steadily through shady forest. The trail eventually opens up to grassy, sunlit slopes filled with wildflowers near the Frenchman’s lift area.

Many hikers take advantage of service road crossings for shorter loop options. Reaching the summit involves a strenuous climb of over 3,000 vertical feet, but it's a rewarding challenge for many outdoor enthusiasts.

Mountain Biking: Bald Mountain offers an expanding network of trails for mountain bikers. The Sun Valley Company has been actively developing and improving the system

With these and other trails, Bald Mountain now provides a wide variety of options for riders of all levels. Thank you to Sun Valley Company and its dedicated trail crew for these outstanding improvements.

Lift Access: During summer, the Sun Valley Resort operates the Roundhouse Gondola and Christmas Chairlift to the summit. This offers easy access for downhill mountain biking, dining at the Roundhouse Restaurant, and sightseeing and enjoying panoramic views.
