About Morgan Hill
Morgan Hill is a summit in New Hampshire, about 2.7 miles from the town of New London. It sits at 1,754 feet, and two hiking routes start close by: the Dura Crockett Trail and the Morgan Hill Trail, each about 0.2 miles away. The Kidder Trail is roughly 0.7 miles off. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the Mt Sunapee weather station, about 9 miles away, show July highs near 79°F and lows around 59°F. That station sits several hundred feet lower than the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. For more time outdoors in the area, the Dartmouth / Lake Sunapee climbing area is about 5 miles away, and Stocker Brook and the North Branch Sugar River, both canoeing routes, lie within about 7.5 miles.
