Summary: From trailhead walk north on easy terrain on the Wapack Trail (yellow triangle marks) , passing through a thin forest, and eventually a pond on the east side. Then you enter an older forest, and cross a peaceful stream before crossing Temple Road. This is the point where the less adventurous (or those with less time) start their hike. From the Temple Mt. trailhead climb the slightly steep trail, passing thought he Cabot trail section, before reaching Burton peak. From Burton Peak through Holt Peak you will find frequent and interesting overlooks where you might want to have lunch and take a couple of pictures. On the temple mountain area you will find a mountain summit with rock cairns arranged so that they resemble chairs -- interesting, if not puzzling. The trail will soon enter the Temple Mt. Ski area, which you use to descend, just before reaching NH 101, crossing it, and returning to your car on the Miller Park.

Reviewed by Mansfield on 8/27/2008 It was a great hike to take my nephews on their first hike. They got to see some great views and some interseting rock formations. They dug it!
Reviewed by Chris on 2/23/2005 Lots of diversity... gentle woodland valleys to a narrow, higher ridge with excellent views. Great for winter trips!
