TOUR #1: Once Around the Mountain—Starting from Peterborough, take Route 101 west for five miles to Route 137. Turn leſt on Route 137 heading south to Jaffrey. Next head west on Route 124.

Four roads from the center of town will bring you to Route 12, within one mile. Turn leſt on Route 12 and head to Route 63.
