Bald Knob

If you stay on the main trail, then you'll have an easy ride. Lots of great views and some oddities, as well. A picnic area. The gravesight of Nancy Hart, a revolutionary war heroine. A bunch of wind turbines. A row of small houses; probably for miners. An RV trailer in the middle of nowhere with a boot on the wheel..lol! If you go on offshoot trails, you will be challenged, and have lots of fun!

Started at the Rupert side of the trail, gate was wide open so no problem starting there. Beginning of the trail can get rough at times when you’re starting up the mountain but it smooths out considerably once you reach the top and eventually turns into a service road for the wind turbines and mines. Lots of other trails branch off from this one if you’re wanting to explore more, most are also marked with signs.

Southern most gate closed. Has a path around that I fit my Tundra through. Rest of road is open and may be able to come through another bypass. We traveled from Richwood

Locked gate at the start/end of the most southern part of the trail. you can still take the main road, it will run you back onto the trail
