Silver Mountain

Great little hidden gem in Lempster, NH. I only knew about this peak due to the NH Fire Tower list. It's off the beaten path (literally, trailhead is 2 miles down a dirt, often quite rough road), however the trail is well blazed and super easy to follow. Space for several cars on South Road at a cabin for the Ashuelot River Headwaters Forest. Trail begins behind a gate with yellow blazes. Only about 0.6 miles in each direction, the trail begins easily and moderately then climbs onto some ledgey areas. When you reach the first open area with a cairn on the left overlooking the first viewpoint, which my family tried to convince me was the summit.. look to the right and there is a small yellow blaze on the rock slab pointing you to the left into some scrub and another 0.1 miles up to the actual summit. Here you will find a yellow x and combination cairn/summit chair with small American flag. Almost 360 degree views give you massive bang for your buck for very little effort.
