Beech Hill is a short, moderate cross-country ski route of about half a mile in the Pemigewasset Ranger District of White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire. It's a short, low-elevation outing, with a total climb of about 33 feet, and the Forest Service manages the land. The trip is an out-and-back that starts and ends near 1,734 feet, with the high point at 1,737 feet. The steepest part comes at about 0.14 miles, with a grade of about 3 percent. Winter is the natural season for this ski route. Typical averages from the nearby Pinkham Notch weather station run from highs around 26°F and lows near 6°F in January to highs around 75°F and lows near 53°F in July. That station sits about 288 feet lower than the hill, so temperatures here run a bit cooler. Dark Forest, another cross-country ski route, lies about 0.1 mile away, and Peter's Path is a hike about 0.2 mile off. Farther out are the Elephant's Head climbing area and the Omni Mount Washington Resort, Bretton Woods, for lake fishing.
