About this trail
Bald Mountain Jeep Trail, also known as Big Levels, follows FR 162 through George Washington National Forest near Stuarts Draft. Expect rocky climbs, ruts and changing water conditions requiring a suitable high-clearance 4x4 and experienced judgment. The current Glenwood-Pedlar motor-vehicle-use map allows highway-legal vehicles April 2–January 9. Gates, road damage, winter weather and separate Blue Ridge Parkway restrictions can affect access. Stay on designated roads; Saint Mary’s Wilderness and unsigned side tracks are excluded. The pin is an approximate point on FR 162, not parking or a complete route. Both original photographs and both source review records are historical. Check current agency maps and notices before traveling.
