I first visited The Pinnacle during Covid. There were trails back then, but it has since been developed into a more formal network with signs and blazes. It's a neat little area. From the parking area, I started on Carriage Road Trail and headed down to the Village Overlook Loop, which has a bench that overlooks the village of Hooksett... imagine that! I then continued on Carriage Road Trail doing an out and back on the Carriage Road Bypass. Spent a little time at the summit, where there is also a bench now. I saw a herd path that took in some alternate views, so explored a little, then headed back to the car on Icehouse Trail. There were a couple trails that looked like they went down to the pond, and I explored 3 before I got an unobstructed view across the pond, with the scenic backdrop of I-93! All in all, it ended up being just over 2 miles. Perfect little Sunday morning adventure.
