Burnt Meadow Mountain – Brownfield (Trailhead off Spring St. Brownfield)
Burnt Meadow Mountain, close to the New Hampshire border, is comprised of three similar summits. The well-marked (though somewhat overgrown) route described here scales the eastern spur of North Peak and offers beautiful views beginning just 0.15 mile from the start.
The broad, grassy summit gives kids room to play and adults room to spread out a feast with the White Mountains as a backdrop. The climb in some places is somewhat steep, count on carrying preschoolers part of the way.
