Directly north of Sand Pond in Lempster NH, the Silver Mountain trail is a bit out of the way, but the spectacular 360 degree view is well worth it.
The trail head is located 4 miles south of the Lempster wind farm turbines.
The short steep & straight hike up the 1.2 mile trail through pine, hemlock, and fern groves takes about 20 minutes to reach the clearing at the top.
The well-worn trail is studded with roots and moss, and is slippery on wet days, so a dry & clear day is definitely recommended.
