Jerimoth Hill, R.I. highpoint

Jerimoth Hill, R.I.  highest point
Just like the 80's Atari game Frogger where each frog must navigate a busy road while avoiding cars when crossing. We too dash across Rt. 101 with calculated timing. The parking is located on the opposite side of the road from the trailhead, and upon the very crest of the hill making it difficult to judge the traffic whizzing past at 50+. Fortunately today traffic was light. 

The signs for Jerimoth Hill stand on both sides of Rt. 101, but these signs are not the summit of the hill. The actual highpoint itself is a rocky spot about 200' / 10 minute walk down the Jerimoth Hill Trail into the woods at the northwest edge of the clearing. The most epic part of bagging this peak may be crossing Rt. 101! Long story short, this is a great 'park -n- grab' when weather conditions are less favorable for longer hikes.

Trailhead Signs


On your hike to the summit cairn you'll pass three USGS survey disks.




 Once you've arrived you will find an ammo box next to the summit cairn containing a register visitors can sign.
