Bald Ridge is a 5.7-mile out-and-back hike in Wyoming's Cloud Peak Wilderness, part of the Powder River Ranger District of Bighorn National Forest. The trail runs from a low point of about 9,938 feet to a high of about 10,199 feet, with a total elevation gain of 213 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is rated moderate. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows horses, so riders can take it as well as hikers. It is open year-round, and the trip works as a short outing for a day in the wilderness. The climb is gentle, with the ridge itself the main objective. The route is short enough to fit into a longer day in the area. West Tensleep Lake campground sits about 2.4 miles away, and Deer Park Campground is about 3.3 miles off. The West Ten Cutoff and Misty Moon hikes both lie within about a mile and a half.
