Bald Eagle Mountain is located in northern California is a beautiful area east of Chico. It is south of the scenic Feather River and Hwy 70. Access to the area is through the beautiful Bucks Lake area. This area sees a lot of snow and it lingers long into the year.
I tried 3 times to drive to this summit and was blocked by a washout on Mill Creek in mid November and then by snow in late June. I finally got to the summit on a 4WD road on 9/23/2006 and only had to dodge hunters.
This is a beautiful area but the summit and access to the summit is not in the Bucks Lake Wilderness area. There is an odd looking olive drab comm trailer that has been abandoned on the summit, otherwise the place is pristine. Images
