About Bald Mountain Range
The Bald Mountain Range is a rugged and scenic mountain range located in central California. The range is characterized by steep, rocky peaks and ridges that rise abruptly from the surrounding valleys and basins. The terrain is generally rocky and alpine, with sparse vegetation at the higher elevations. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. Snowpack can linger well into the summer months in some areas of the range.
