GET FIT HIKE #2: BURTON & HOLT PEAKS/TEMPLE MOUNTAIN HIKE
Our second of four GetFit Hikes to get fit for summer hiking!
Details
Our second of four GetFit Hikes to get fit for summer hiking! We are taking it up a notch from our last hike with a hike on the Wapack Trail to Burton Peak [2,010'] with panoramic views of Mounts Watatic and Monadnock, Holt Peak [2,055'] and finishing at Temple Mountain Ledges [1,770'] where rock cairns create an otherworldly landscape. The hike is about 7 miles round trip with 1,500 elevation gain. The
There may be a few spots with snow and mud. Temple Mountain ledges offer a great ridge walk with majestic views of neighboring Mount Monadnock and an almost surreal environment of rock ledges decorated with 10-foot-tall rock cairns and chairs constructed from rocks and boulders!
Wear clothing suitable for exposed ledges and summits...no cotton or blue jeans. Bring along water, lunch, snacks and anything else you may require for a day hike. Join us on this four hour hike in the great outdoors for some fresh air and some much needed camaraderie!
Directions
The trailhead is located on Temple Road in Sharon, New Hampshire. It is NOT the trailhead off Rte. 101!
- If you are driving from Manchester, take Rt. 101 West, pass the height of land where the trailhead for Pack Monadnock and Temple Mountain is, and as you descend to Peterborough take a left onto Rt. 123 South.

- Drive for 0.7 mile on Temple Road then park on the right in a small dirt parking area.
