Skyview Trail is a short, easy hike in New Hampshire, set on the Spaulding Hill Road Parcel about half a mile from the town of Hudson. The route is an out-and-back of roughly a mile, with a total climb of about 140 feet and a high point of 331 feet. The trail is back-loaded, so the steepest stretch comes in the second half, and the climb is gentle enough to fit into a longer day on foot. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Hudson show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 74°F, with July the warmest month at about 83°F. Several other trails sit close by. Tower Hill Trail is about half a mile away, and Long Trail and Cottontail Lane are each about 0.6 miles off. Climbers can find the Pelham Tree Farm Boulders about a mile away.
