  • Gunstock Mountain Trail & Winter Shortcut Trail
    Trail Name: Gunstock Mountain Trail & Winter Shortcut Trail Gilford, NH Trail Description: Mike Ware ________________________________________________________________________________________ Gunstock Mountain Trail From the Belknap Mountain Carriage Road’s lower parking lot gate, travel down Carriage Road for 100 yards. The trail head is on the left. This trail ascends to the summit of Gunstock Mountain. The Gunstock Mtn. Trail (blazed orange) climbs steeply at first on a ridge above a stream that lies below to the right. Blue blazes in this area are markers for the State Forest Boundary. At 0.3 mi., cross through an opening in the stone wall, and the trail now travels away from the ridge. At 0.5 mi. the trail bears right and crosses a small stream bed. The trail then ascends through an area of ledge and boulders. At 0.6 miles, bear right to follow Gunstock Mtn. Trail. At 0.7 miles, there is a junction with the Winter Shortcut Trail (blazed green). Here, the Gunstock Mtn. Trail bears right and the Winter Shortcut Trail ascends steeply to the left. The Winter Shortcut Trail provides an alternate route to the Gunstock summit. The Winter Shortcut Trail ends on the Ridge Trail (blazed white), 0.1 mi. from the summit. The Winter Shortcut Trail has somewhat less ledge than the Gunstock Mtn. Trail, and may be better to use during wet or icy conditions. At the 0.7 mi. point, the Gunstock Mtn. Trail shortly bears right across a small stream bed, bears left at the end of a stone wall and then climbs steeply. At 0.8 mi., turn right just below a large, eroded ledge/boulder area.
