Chestnut Hill
About
Chestnut Hill is a summit in Pisgah State Park in southwestern New Hampshire, about 3.7 miles from the town of Hinsdale. Within the park it sits among several named trails, and the Chestnut Hill Trail runs within a mile of the top. For comfortable conditions, late spring through early fall works well. At the weather station in Keene, about 9.4 miles away, typical averages reach highs in the low 70s °F in September with lows in the upper 40s °F. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures on the hill tend to run a bit cooler. The closest nearby routes are the Pisgah Ridge Trail at about 0.4 miles, the Chestnut Hill Trail at 0.7 miles, and the Reservoir Trail just under a mile away. For climbing farther afield, Pulpit Falls is about 7.3 miles off.
