Bald Hills is a former settlement in Klamath County, now located in Humboldt County, California.[1] It was located 10 miles (16 km) southeast of Orick.[1] In 1862 it was described as being between Trinidad and Orleans Bar, and within an easy day's travel from Fort Gaston.[2]

A post office operated at Bald Hills from November 25, 1867 to January 23, 1878.[1] [3] It may have been a post office earlier, according to a news item from Alta California, November 29, 1862. It said that the post office at Bald Hills was burned at the same time as the one at Albeeville.[4]

The name of the place comes from the nearby Bald Hills.[1]
