Route Description for Bald Mountain from Lolo Pass Hike

The Bald Mountain from Lolo Pass Hike is a great outdoor experience in Mount Hood National Forest that will showcase some beautiful stretches of the Oregon landscape. Be aware that downed trees are often encountered along the trail and may make travel a bit more difficult.
