Bald Mountain

Bald Mountain Campground is nestled at the foot of its namesake with a creek running through it. The Medicine Wheel National Historic Landmark is a short drive and 1.5-mile hike away. East of the campground is Paradise Valley, another favorite hiking area where you can view a full array of flowers in the early summer, wildlife, small waterfalls, and enjoy spectacular views of the valleys below. While you cannot bring livestock into the campground, there is a hitching rail, and loading area, right outside the gate.
