Great Hill
About
Great Hill is a summit in New Hampshire, about 8.4 miles from the town of Center Sandwich. It sits at 1,275 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Tamworth show July highs around 78°F with lows near 55°F, and September still reaching about 70°F. That station sits roughly 700 feet lower than the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. Two trails start within half a mile: the Peg King Spur Trail and the Betty Steele Loop Trail. The Great Hill Pond Trail is about 2 miles away. For an overnight stay, White Ledge Campground is roughly 6.8 miles off.
