The eastern loop trail to Bald Mountain Route: Forest Road 438, unknown trail, (Bald Mountain), unknown trail, Forest Road 438 From the gate on Forest Road 438, I followed the grassy road briefly, then took a diagonal left uphill onto a narrower trail (soon passing a no snowmobiles sign). The trail was generally gradual as it climbed up a ridge, dropped off a subpeak, then ascended the summit. While the summit has a decent sized ledge, the slab does not feature any views. Just downhill from it, though, a herd path leads perhaps 100 feet to a ledge with directional view to the south. Back on the summit ledge, I continued clockwise down the other side of the loop trail - the west side was a bit more open and crossed a few logging roads and pastures, as well as some old cellar holes.
