Baldy Mountain is a 9,874-foot peak in the San Juan Mountains just outside of Durango, Colorado. The mountain can be tackled from a couple different trailheads and is located at the end of a forest service road (the road is closed to motor vehicles). There are great views of the La Plata Mountains from the summit.
