Summary

Let’s hit the trail together at South Mountain Lookout Tower Trail, a 5.0-mile loop near Raymond, NH. This moderately challenging route takes us through peaceful forest paths, up to the summit of South Mountain where a fire lookout tower offers breathtaking 360° views of the surrounding landscape. Whether you're here for the hike, the views, or just some great company – you're in for a good time!

* Trail Length: 5.0 miles
* Elevation Gain: 823 ft
* Difficulty: Moderate
* Estimated Time: 2 hours 18 minutes
* Terrain: Forested paths, gradual elevation, and a scenic summit stop
* Dogs: Welcome (must be on a leash)
* Trail info: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-hampshire/south-mountain-lookout-tower-trail--2

Lunch Plans:
We’ll grab lunch together afterward at a nearby local spot (TBD) – perfect for cooling down and catching up!

Bring water, sturdy hiking shoes, and your sense of adventure. This is a popular spot for a reason – let’s make some memories together! 

Questions? Reach out anytime – and feel free to invite a friend!
