Bald Mountain is a prominent peak which stands above the Wilkes-Barre and Scranton Valley. Located on the summit is an outcrop of Catskill conglomerate (Devonian age) known as the "Pinnacle Rock". From the summit you may view the northernmost extension of the geologic province known as the Glaciated Low Plateaus section. The mountain itself is located in the Ridge and Valley Appalachians.
To access the summit you can take the Pinnacle Rock trail. The trailhead is on the west side of the mountain and is a nine hundred foot vertical gain.
