Another stop on this dreary morning was a short walk up to Jeremy Hill in Pelham NH. This is just a quick 1 mile out-and-back.
The hardest part of this hike was finding were to park. It feels like you are parking in a driveway. But there is a gated trail/snowmobile trail that has a sign noting that is is a right of way path. I parked there out of the way making sure not to block the gate or any driveways.
The trail I parked by is not the one I needed to go down. I’m glad I looked at my GPS. I noticed that I wanted to go the opposite direction of the trail. After a little inspection I saw that the trail did continue in the right direction, but it was a bit hidden behind some overgrowth. If this was summer, then I would have not seen this at all.
I started down the trail. It crosses some thick thorn bushes but there was a clear path to go through. Again, if this was summer it might be a bit overgrown. There are also lots of no trespassing signs along the path as well.
The trail tuns more like an old road after the thorns. It is lined with a nice stone wall. After about .3 miles there is a junction and a path that goes gently up hill.
About a quarter mile up the road I came to the old fire tower location. The cement pad was all still in place with some metal from the structure sticking out. There were also several old rusty barrels and other odd artifacts scattered around.
The trail does a small loop around the high point and then I continued back down to the junction and back to the car. Overall, this trail is short and sweet. It is easy and pretty. But again this may have to do with the season and not having a lot of overgrowth.
