Hibbard Mountain

New Hampshire

About

Hibbard Mountain is a summit of 2,941 feet in the Sandwich Range Wilderness, part of the Saco Ranger District of White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire. The nearest town is Center Sandwich, about 9 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July averages from a nearby weather station run to a high of 77°F and a low of 54°F, and that station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up high run cooler. The Wonalancet Range Trail Cutoff passes just 0.4 miles away, and the Square Ledge Trail and Walden Trail are each about 0.9 miles off. For an overnight base, Passaconaway campground is about 4 miles away.
