Every season is unforgettable at Omni Mount Washington Resort. Spend warmer days perfecting your game on two stunning golf courses, surrounded by the mountains. When the snow falls, hit the slopes at Bretton Woods for award-winning snow and grooming, or head out for a cross-country trek on the Nordic trails. Gondola rides with 360° views, thrilling zipline tours through the trees, and a relaxing 25,000 square foot spa make for memorable

moments all year long.

Trails of Red Hill Conservation Area Moultonborough & Sandwich These trails are maintained by volunteers and are generally in good condition. Red Hill (Fire Tower) Trail

Main trail to the summit fire tower. Trailhead on Red Hill Road. Great views of Winnipesaukee, Squam, the Ossipees, the Squam and Sandwich Ranges, more. Grade: moderate. Distance: 1.75 mi.

Cabin Trail

Trail branches off Red Hill Trail at the Horne cellar hole, about 0.5 mi. from the trailhead; instead of going left on the Red Hill Trail, go straight ahead; after 0.2 mi. at a junction with a snowmobile trail, go left; in another 0.5 mi., the trail reaches a nicely built, fairly well-preserved hunter’s cabin. Grade: moderate. Distance: 1.3 mi.

Trail runs from trailhead on Sheridan Rd to high ground on southeastern Red Hill, with views of Sandwich Dome and Mt. Israel at the highest point. Grade: moderate, though most elevation is gained fairly early on. Distance: 2.5 mi.

Scenic Trail

This trail branches off the Sheridan Woods Trail about 0.5 mi above the trailhead and rejoins the trail in about 0.5 mi., providing an alternate route for part of the climb. Excellent views from two outlooks: across Garland Pond to the Ossipee Range, and to the Sandwich Range. Grade: moderate to steep. Distance: 0.5 mi.

This short trail from the Eagle Cliff Trail to Bean Rd./ Squam Lake Rd. can be used to avoid a potentially dangerous descent of the cliff in wet weather when coming down the Eagle Cliff Trail. It can also be used to make a loop with the westernmost part of the Eagle Cliff Trail and Bean Rd./Squam Lake Rd. Grade: easy. Distance: 0.6 mi.
