Temple Mountain, Peterborough

Temple Mountain is a 2045ft ridge located in south-central New Hampshire within the Wapack Range of mountains. It lies within Sharon and Temple, New Hampshire; the 22mi Wapack Trail traverses the mountain, and the northern face includes the 350acre Temple Mountain Reservation, owned by the state. The mountain is 3.5mi long and has several summits; three of them are named: Burton Peak 2010ft, Whitcomb Peak 1710ft, and Holt Peak, the high point.
The mountain was home to the former Temple Mountain Ski Area, which is now a state-owned recreation area.
Pack Monadnock Mountain is located directly to the north along the Wapack ridgeline; Kidder Mountain to the south. Much of the north face of the mountain, formerly the Temple Mountain Ski Area, is the state-owned Temple Mountain Reservation Area. Scattered ledges along the ridgeline offer long vistas west to Mount Monadnock and south along the spine of the Wapack Range; the abandoned ski area on the north side of the mountain offers 270-degree views.
The east side of the mountain drains into the Souhegan River watershed, thence into the Merrimack River and Atlantic Ocean; the west side drains into the Contoocook River, thence into the Merrimack River.
