Piper Mountain
Gilford, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Reaching the ridge
Route: Piper Mountain Trail, green blazed trail, (Piper Mountain), green blazed trail, Old Piper Trail, White Trail, Carriage Road
Trails were snow free and mostly dry. A few areas of wet ledge, but nothing too bad.
On the descent of the Carriage Road, I heard a gunshot from the direction of the Piper Mountain Trail just after sunrise this morning, then saw bleeding deer run across the Carriage Road from that direction.

Directions to trailhead: From Route 11A East (from Route 3), take a right on Hoyt Road. Continue down this road as it becomes Belknap Mountain Road. Look for Carriage Road on your left. There is a small parking lot just before the gate. Trailhead is down the road a bit, on the right after a small bridge.
