Perimeter

Perimeter is a short, easy mountain biking route in New Hampshire's White Mountain National Forest, within the Pemigewasset Ranger District. The route is about 0.3 miles long and is an out-and-back that gains no elevation, so it works as a quick ride or a warm-up before heading deeper into the forest. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the Pinkham Notch weather station, about 9 miles away, show July highs near 75°F with lows around 53°F. Winters there are cold, with January highs averaging about 26°F. The surrounding area offers plenty to pair with a ride. Esker and Outlook are both cross-country ski trails within a third of a mile, and Omni Mount Washington Resort, Bretton Woods, about a mile away, has lake fishing. Climbers can head to Mount Oscar, roughly 2.5 miles off.
