From Little Bald Mountain, the view is great to the north and south. The north looks into the low range lands towards Butter Creek country, and south into the Texas and Madison areas. This is a beautiful trail, going by some areas very unique to the Heppner Ranger District. There is also an area called Earth Shake, the true history is not known but locals claim an earthquake shaped this monolithic rock formation. This area is cool, damp, and a very pleasant place to picnic.
