About


Colburn Hill
Lebanon, NH

Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Indian Ridge Trail
The Indian Ridge Trail

Route: Indian Ridge Trail, Water Tank Trail

Trails were generally dry with an occasional dusting of snow up high, as well as a few isolated icy areas (where presumably the trail could be muddy other times of the year).

I misread a local map and thought there was a viewpoint on Indian Ridge. Perhaps when Bob Dole was running for President...for the first time. Certainly some potential for a western view on Indian Ridge with some trimming. Colburn Hill is topped with a fenced of water tank, so not much to see there.

Found the trails a little confusing to navigate due to many intersections, minimalist blazing, and minimal signage.
