Mount Squam
About
Mount Squam is a summit in New Hampshire, rising to 2,219 feet about 5 miles from the town of Center Sandwich. It sits in a cluster of trails and climbing areas in the state's northern reaches. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July averages from a nearby weather station at Waterville Valley run to highs around 77°F and lows near 54°F, and the summit sits higher than that station, so expect cooler temperatures up top. The Doublehead Trail starts about a mile away, and the Morse Trail and Mount Percival Trail are each roughly 1.6 miles off. Climbers can head to Highlander Wall, about 2.4 miles away.
