Distance: 1.5 Mile Loop
Difficulty: Easy with some hills.
Located on Nartoff Road in Hollis, New Hampshire is the trail head to Gelazauskas Preserve, a one and a half mile moderately easy loop trail. There is a small parking lot at the trail head with a gate and a sign marking the start of Galazauskas Preserve.
The trail goes gradually down hill until you meet a split in the trail. This is where the loop starts and finishes. We went straight. After walking a few hundred feet there was another split in the trail. Make sure you bare left. We accidentally went right and it brought us to someone’s backyard. All Trails was helpful in navigating as there were no signs or trail markers.
We continued on the loop that went over a small stream and up and down some hills.
There is an incline up to an Apple Orchard. When I had heard about this trail, I read there were views of Mt. Monadnock. I figured the views would be here, but there were no views.
The trail went down another hill and over another bridge.
After a little further walk through the woods we were back at the start of the loop. It was a very pretty walk through the woods. No view points that we could find. Not a flat trail as there were some hills to go up and down. Overall I enjoyed this short hike through the woods.
