Ted's Trail is a moderate out-and-back hike of about 5 miles on Wapack National Wildlife Refuge in New Hampshire, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The trail climbs from a starting point at about 1,950 feet to a high point of 2,129 feet, with a total elevation gain of about 1,340 feet for the round trip. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Greenville run to highs around 79°F in July, with September still near 70°F. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the higher ground run cooler. The hike takes about 2.5 hours. Carolyn's Trail starts just 0.2 miles away, and Cliff Trail is about 0.7 miles off. For climbing, the Monadnock Region is about 5 miles away, and Edward MacDowell Lake Day Use Facilities offers camping about 6 miles out.
