Mount Parker
About
Mount Parker is a summit of 3,011 feet in the Saco Ranger District of White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire, about 3.5 miles from the town of Bartlett. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the nearby Pinkham Notch weather station run to highs around 75°F in July, with lows in the low 50s. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. The Mount Parker Trail starts less than a mile away, and the Mount Langdon Trail is about 0.8 miles off. Climbers can head to the WM: Bartlett / Jackson Area, about 2.1 miles away, or to Crawford Notch, about 2.4 miles away.
