The Upper Valley Trails Alliance has information on hundreds of trails in the Upper Valley. It is our intention to put us much of this trail information online as possible. However, the majority of these trails are on private land, and first and foremost we must respect the rights and privacy of landowners. We therefore have a policy that we will not publicize a trail online until we have the permission of all landowners involved. Please volunteer! Help us and other Upper Valley trail groups get this permission by contacting the hundreds of landowners in the Upper Valley that have given permission for trails to cross their land. Contact Wally Elton at (802)649-9075 to volunteer to help!

New! - Trails from "Go Walking!"

The following trails are taken from UVTA's trail booklet "Go Walking!: A Guide to Walking in the Heart of the Upper Valley." The routes are aimed at beginning trail users and are generally easy and centrally located. In addition to maps like these, "Go Walking!" also contains tons of tips, information and ideas on how to maximize your enjoyment of trails in the Upper Valley. The full guide will be available in hard copy from the UVTA Offices for a small fee to cover printing costs. (On all maps, North is up, unless otherwise indicated)

These maps are all in printer-friendly .pdf format. If you are having trouble viewing them, Download the free .pdf reader from Adobe Software.

Indoor Walking

Because the winters around here can chilly, you might prefer indoor walking to keep active year-round. UVTA, in association with DHMC, Dartmouth College and the PowerHouse mall, has put together the following indoor walking routes:

DHMC Indoor Routes
(Open 24 hours a day, free of charge)
Enter DHMC either through the Main Entrance on the west side or the parking garage on the east. If itıs busy, a booth attendant may ask why you are there.

Level 4 Loop (from Parking Garage) - 0.38 mi. (4x= 1.5 miles)
Starting from the information desk (on your left as you exit the garage), proceed straight ahead down the hallway, past the stairs, and turn right at the end, going around the octagon (rotunda) in the process. Continue along this hallway to the elevators. Turn around and retrace your route back to the information desk.

Level 4 Loop w/Stair Climb (from Parking Garage) - 0.35mi (4x=1.4mi)
Starting at the information desk, go straight ahead, and then take the stairs on the left up to Level 5. Turn left at the top of the stairs, walk down the hallway and turn left through the first opening in the wall. Proceed along that hallway past clinic 5D and turn right at the end, going around the octagon (rotunda) and past the library in the process. Continue along this hallway to the stairs, and go down to Level 4, then retrace your route on Level 4 back to the information desk.

Level 3 Loop (from Main Entrance) - 0.37 mi. (4x 1.5 mi.)
