Open woods on the way up Saddle Hill
Route: Bushwhack
Another poor weather forecast, so I stayed local and bushwhacked through open woods up to the summit of Saddle Hill. While there were decent directional Lakes Region views from near the summit, I found much better views a bit west of the summit, courtesy a recently logged area. Views ranged from southern New Hampshire to the White Mountains.

Looking at Mt. Cardigan from the logged area on Saddle Hill
Directions to trailhead: From Exit 23 of I-93, take Route 104 east. After a few minutes, take a right onto Sinclair Hill Road. Bear left/straight onto Pinnacle Hill road at two junctions. Pinnacle Hill Road will become Edgerly School Road. In winter, Saddle Hill Road is not plowed. There is minimal space to park on the side of Edgerly School Road at the sharp left turn/junction with Saddle Hill Road.
