Piper Mountain

New Hampshire

About

Piper Mountain is a summit in New Hampshire, rising to 2,037 feet about 6.7 miles from the town of Belmont. Several trails start close by, so it works well as a destination for a short outing or as a link in a longer hike through the surrounding area. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Lakeport show September highs around 73°F with lows near 52°F, and July highs around 82°F. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. The closest trails are the Vista Trail, about 0.1 mile away, and the Piper Mountain Trail and Piper-Whiteface Link, each about 0.2 mile off. Round Pond lies about half a mile away.
