At 12,297 feet, Ball Mountain is an unassuming peak in the foothills of the Mosquito Range. It's a rocky, dusty peak, and most 4wd cars can get within a mile of the summit (some OHVs can even drive to the top). There is a small summit registry tucked under a pile of rocks; you might have to do some searching since the top of the mountain is a wide, flat, rocky meadow.

At 12,297 feet, Ball Mountain is an unassuming peak in the foothills of the Mosquito Range. The roads leading up to the peak are mostly runnable (they are utilitzed for many trail races in the area). The peak, itself, is a rocky, dusty summit, and most 4wd cars can get within a mile of the summit (some OHVs can even drive to the top). There is a small summit registry tucked under a pile of rocks; you might have to do some searching since the top of the mountain is a wide, flat, rocky meadow.
