Name:Lower Bald Mountain trails
Description:A morning ride from Sun Valley. Bald Mountain is the main ski area here, the trails go all the way to the top, but, the upper half was closed to Jul 1st for elk calving.
I rode from Warm Springs Lodge, climbed up the Warm Springs Trail singletracek half way, then onto Traverse Trail which is a lift road. Down on Bald Mountain Trail, which was the best, but later I learned that it's open only for uphill. About half way down Bald Mtn. Trail jumped up on French Connection back to Traverse Trail, from which after some descent peels off Cold Spring Trail that goes down in nice singletrack switchbacks.
Overall a pretty decent ride for the morning.
