Mount Percival
About
Mount Percival is a summit in New Hampshire, about 6 miles from the village of Center Sandwich. Hikers reach it on foot, with the Mount Percival Trail and the Morse Trail both starting within about a mile and a half. Summer and early fall are the mildest times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 77°F with lows in the mid-50s, and September highs near 69°F. That station sits several hundred feet below the summit, so expect cooler temperatures on top. Winters there are cold, with January highs in the upper 20s. Several hiking trails lie close by. The Morse Trail is about 1.2 miles away, and the Mount Percival Trail and Mount Morgan Trail are each about 1.4 miles off. For an overnight stay, Campton Campground is roughly 5.6 miles away.
