About Burns Hill

Burns Hill is a summit in New Hampshire, about 1.8 miles from the town of Milford. It sits at 740 feet. Late summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Milford show September highs around 73°F with lows near 50°F, and the summit sits higher than that station, so temperatures on top run a bit cooler. Two trails start almost at the hill: the Kevin Bacon Trail is 0.1 mile away and the Hitchiner White Trail is 0.2 mile away. Pine Loop is 0.9 mile off, and climbers can head to Old Hutchinton Hill Quarry, about 1.7 miles away.
