Alstead and Acworth were hotbeds of mining in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Evidence of this includes mines, mine pits, and sometimes, old equipment. As we hike to the Yuhas mines, we will also explore two cellar holes, and an abandoned farmhouse that are present along the wooded class VI road. There are two nice views of the Acworth hills as well. This hike is 3.5 miles. It is moderately challenging. Hiking boots and tick spray are recommended. We'll meet and park at 449 Cobb Hill Road, Alstead.
