Foss Mountain
Eaton, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Looking up the Foss Mountain Trail
Route: Foss Mountain Trail, (Foss Mountain North Peak), Foss Mountain Trail
Quick side trip to check out the newly constructed Foss Mountain Trail in Eaton. The trailhead is a fraction of a mile before (north) the old trailhead (closed).
The first portion of the new trail follows an old woods road. The second portion is a newly built path with fantastic footing (gravel footbed with generous switchbacks) and the third portion weaves its way up the northern side of the blueberry fields/ledges to what's often referred to as the summit (the highpoint is a wooded area further down the ridge).
The views from the 'summit' are some of the best in the region.
