Bald Mountain. From the Stockton General Store in downtown Stockton, head east-southeast on Silver Avenue / Copper Street about 2 miles, where the 2-lane blacktop ends and a dirt trail begins. This trail is variously labeled South Copper Street or Soldier Canyon Road. From the beginning of this dirt trail to Commodore’s Lower Launch is 5 miles. Another 2 miles takes you to Commodore’s Upper Launch. Most of the trail to launch is on BLM land, but you will traverse private property as well. Leave all gates as you found them.
