About Mount Randolph
Mount Randolph is a summit in northern New Hampshire, about 6 miles from the town of Gorham. It stands in the hiking country north of the Presidentials, with trail access close to its slopes. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. The Pinkham Notch weather station, about 10 miles away, typically averages highs near 75°F with lows around 53°F in July, and highs around 68°F in September. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet below the summit, so temperatures on top typically run cooler than those averages suggest. Two trails start within a mile: the Vyron D Lowe Path and the Crescent Ridge Trail, each about 0.7 miles away. For an overnight base, Dolly Copp campground is about 6 miles off. Climbers will find the WM: Pinkham / Presidentials area about 7.5 miles away.
