North Pack Monadnock Mountain
About
North Pack Monadnock Mountain is a summit of 2,262 feet in New Hampshire's Wapack National Wildlife Refuge, about 5 miles from the town of Peterborough. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show September highs around 73°F with lows near 51°F, and July highs around 83°F. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. Carolyn's Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and Ted's Trail is about 0.3 mile off. The Monadnock Region climbing area lies roughly 5 miles away, and Edward MacDowell Lake Day Use Facilities is about 6 miles away.
