About Gardiner Mountain

Gardiner Mountain is a summit in southwestern New Hampshire, about 2.4 miles from the town of Winchester. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable time to go. A nearby weather station in Keene records typical June highs around 77°F and September highs near 73°F with lows in the upper 40s, and because that station sits roughly 750 feet below the summit, temperatures up high run cooler. Winter brings typical January highs near 30°F and several snowy days each month from December through February. The Gardiner Mountain trail and a Loop trail both start within about half a mile of the peak, and the Ashuelot Rail Trail runs about a mile away. Climbers can head to Revolutionary War Boulder, roughly 4 miles off.
