Bald Mountain Trail
Wednesday, December 11, 2024
| Other Names | Anchorage Recreation Management Area, Bald Mountain Ridge, B 29 Trail, B-29 Trail, Talkeetna Mountain Range |
| Last Known Status | Open |
This trail is about 22 miles long and starts out as a rough dirt road in a wooded forest for the first few miles but becomes more of a technical trail as you go up in elevation. The trail eventually climbs above the tree line and leads toward Bald Mountain Ridge.
The trail can get very muddy and has wide mud holes that can last well into the late summer months. A side trail leads to a memorial plaque and wreckage of a B-29 plane that happened in 1956.
