Goat Pasture Hill
Alton, NH, Gilmanton, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Blue Trail on the way to Goat Pasture Hill
Route: Old Stage Road, Blue Trail, Red Trail
Old Stage Road was dry. 2014 beaver dam flooding not an issue.
Blue Trail starts just west of the Anna-Old Stage Road Link junction, just east of a bridge. Occasional minor mud in places, but could be sloppy in wet conditions.
Red Trail also has occasional mud in places, but generally dry. Decent viewpoint just north of what I considered to be the highpoint on Goat Pasture Hill, on the north side of the peak.

Looking northeast at the eastern Belknaps from Goat Pasture Hill
Directions to trailhead: From the Route 28A - Route 11 junction in Alton Bay, head west, going straight through the next junction, onto Rand Hill Road. Take a left onto Alton Mountain Road. A few minutes later, bear right to stay on Alton Mountain Road (rather than going left onto Avery Hill Road). There is limited room to park near the end of the maintained road and snowmobile trail junction.
