About Bald Hills
The Bald Hills are a small, rugged mountain range located in northern California, within the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. The range is characterized by its steep, rocky terrain and sparse vegetation, with many of the peaks lacking significant tree cover, giving the range its distinctive 'bald' appearance. The hills rise abruptly from the surrounding valleys, offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding countryside. The geology of the range is primarily composed of metamorphic and igneous rocks, with outcroppings of granite and schist common throughout.
