Piermont Mountain
Piermont, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The northern trail to Piermont Mountain
Route: Unknown trail
On the ascent, the trail was mostly dry and in good shape. A few minor muddy areas. There is logging in progress about 1 mile in, disturbing the trail for maybe a quarter of a mile or so. Trail is marked with flagging tape, though. Near the top of the logging, trail pops out onto a gravel logging road, then continues uphill on the road briefly to a height of land, then leaves the road, crosses a logging cut, and re-enters the woods.
Nice views generally east from a viewpoint about half a mile before the summit, as well as from the summit ledge.
Skies opened up on the descent, complemented with the sound of thunder, making things a little wet.
