Enjoy the cool autumn air and changing leaf colors by joining the Squam Lakes Association for a ~3.5 mile round-trip guided hike to the summit of Red Hill from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM on Saturday, September 27th! From the top of the 2,030 ft summit's fire tower there is a stunning 360 degree view of Squam Lake, Lake Winnipesaukee, the Ossipee Range, and the Sandwich Range. We will have a lunch/snack break while taking in the views before making our descent.

Participants will meet at the Red Hill Parking Area at 10:00 AM, located on Red Hill Road in Moultonborough, NH. All are welcome on this guided hike, but it is recommended for participants that are comfortable with uneven terrain and moderate to strenuous changes in elevation, as we will climb about 1,350 ft. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Please make sure to bring lots of water, a packed lunch/snacks to enjoy at the summit, and weather appropriate clothing and hiking gear. This includes extra layers, rain gear, a hat, gloves, extra socks, etc.
