Bald Knoll

Bald Knoll is a cinder cone in Kane County that rises to 2,135 meters and features a crater at its peak. The formation sits within the Colorado Plateau and displays basaltic lava patterns across its slopes.

The cinder cone formed through volcanic eruptions and represents the most recent volcanic activity in the Paunsaugunt Plateau region. Its creation marks an important chapter in southwestern Utah's volcanic history.

Geologists and researchers frequently visit this location to study the volcanic formations and document the geological processes of the Colorado Plateau region.

You can reach this location by following Forest Road #054 past the reservoir, with primitive camping areas at the base. The high elevation and terrain require preparation and proper gear for your visit.

The peak displays well-preserved basaltic lava patterns that visitors can observe directly on the ground. These visible features make it an excellent example of volcanic geology in action.
