Summary

Bald Ridge Trail gradually ascends through BLM and State Land before reaching the base of Bald Ridge, where it peters out. Bald Ridge is also accessible from the top via the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway. The area is always closed January 1 thru April 30 to protect wintering wildlife. During the summer months, be aware there is little to no shade.

“Pronghorn, mule deer, moose, elk, and grizzly and black bears may be encountered along this trail. Waterfowl are often found at the lakes near the trailhead and soaring raptors are often sighted.

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.

This is grizzly bear country, so, be bear aware!” (BLM)
