Gile Mountain

This short but sweet hike is an excellent trek for families or beginners, this short but sweet hike is a great option for those who want amazing views without much effort. This 1.5-mile roundtrip trail in Norwich starts off flat but has a small incline up 400 rocky steps. Once you reach the top, there is a fire tower that you can climb (another 90 or so steps) to see those majestic views you traveled here for. On a clear day, you will be able to see Moosilauka, Camels Hump, and the Dartmouth College campus in the distance. Because of its distance to the university, this trail can be quite packed on weekends, so it is best to come early if you want to avoid the crowds.
