About Parker Mountain
Parker Mountain is a summit in New Hampshire, set within the Storer Lot - Town Forest. The nearest town is Pittsfield, about 8 miles away. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable stretch for a visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show September highs around 73°F and lows near 50°F, though that station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up high run cooler. Several marked trails start close by, including the Link Trail (blue) about a third of a mile away and the Blue Trail at half a mile. Within a mile are Spring Walls, The, a climbing area, and the Spencer Smith Trail (red).
