Bald Mountain
Peak without vegetation
Bald Mountain is a common place name for treeless peaks or summits, typically where elevation, fire, or poor soil prevents forest growth.
The name appears across North America for dozens of different mountains.
The piece is widely known through Mussorgsky's orchestral work "Night on Bald Mountain," depicting a witches' sabbath.
