March 11, 2021Perfect trail. Well groomed, great mix of powder and packed snow. Perfect for snowshoe and snow biking. Great views of Main Street and Deer Valley while hiking up.
December 27, 2020We were try to find the Ontario canyon to bald mountain trail but could not find it so we went to the mine trail
November 9, 2020Nice trail, good exercise going up as it’s pretty steady rise. Great views. I found the trail hard to stay on as there are loads of intersecting trails throughout. AllTrails app helped.
September 29, 2020September 26, 2020Dry,dry,dry
September 20, 2020Good trail. Goes through the trees with no shade just at the end. Great views. Just a lot of traffic on the weekend.
September 5, 2020Really beautiful. Went early Sept.
September 2, 2020Easy to follow and strenuous enough to get in a good workout. I’m recovering from ankle surgery and did it in 70 minutes to the top. If you make it before 5pm, you can ride the lift down!!
August 30, 2020This trail was clearly marked. It is very steep. Some trails are very rocky.
August 24, 2020Beautiful hike through shaded woods and exposed meadows. Only slightly crowded but everyone we passed put on masks. Definitely recommend victory chocolate at the summit !!
August 18, 2020Great hike. I had a rest day so I took the lift to the top and hiked 2.5 miles down. Scenic and fairly easy. If you ski DV and are familiar with Ontario Ski Run - it’s not quite the same path. I mistakenly thought it would be. Stay on the well-marked Ontario Hiking Trail . I had a lovely afternoon.
August 18, 2020Dust and warm but great
August 16, 20202nd half downhill is more scenic
August 9, 2020Great trail, no bikes, light traffic.
August 5, 2020One of our summer challenges —- home to Top of Bald Mountain
August 5, 2020Too hard for a six year old
July 27, 2020The reward of beautiful views at the top makes this hike worth every step. You can take the lift down...and then enjoy lunch at royal street cafe.
July 24, 2020July 17, 2020It’s a perfect trail for those looking for something a little more difficult but able to be handled by most hikers and kids. There are some steeper parts and the first half has a few areas that aren’t as pretty but walking through the Aspens and the view at the top of Bald Mountain is amazing. You can view every mountain in the area from the top. Also if you are tired you could take the Sterling lift down instead of walking. I hike quickly and knocked it out in 1:50 there and back.
July 6, 2020I just did the downhill portion after getting off the Sterling lift. Beautiful views. Well marked trail. Not very steep downhills, but still challenging.
July 4, 2020Moderate trail. We’re from San Antonio, so not used to the altitude, but we loved it. Took a little over 2 hours. Treated ourselves to the ski lift to get back down.
June 27, 2020This is a moderate trail that cross-crosses biking trails. Once you get up closer to the peak, there are some gorgeous views. It is pretty steep at times, but nothing crazy. I recommend hiking up and then riding the Sterling Express down.
June 20, 2020Beautiful views on the silver lake trail up. Aspen groves on the Ontario route down.
November 1, 2019October 14, 2019This trail was awesome, but very hard to find. Just make sure you start from the sterling ski lift. I would also recommend taking silver springs back. Beautiful views of sliver lake at the top.
September 21, 2019September 20, 2019Great single track loop up Bald via Ontario and down Silver Peak. Beautiful views at the top and a nice mix of wooded and exposed trail.
September 5, 2019Pretty steep and challenging. Trail is marked well. Starts in the woods and then no shade on the top half of the mountain. Good 360 views from the top. The lift wasn’t open since it’s September, so we took Silver Lake Trail back down for a total of almost 5 miles. Would have preferred the lift down, though.
August 28, 2019Was told an ‘easy’ trail...though marked ‘moderate’, this Texas gal did great...wish I had worn hiking shoes, but my cross-trainers tennis shoes worked just fine. Beautiful wildflowers coupled with spectacular aspens, this was a fabulous trail.
