February 28, 2021Fun trail with rewarding view
February 21, 2021Trail is well packed. Amazing views of the Whites and even the skyline of Boston in the distance
February 21, 2021I hiked up Marion Davis to the 1st summit then hiked the Wapac trail to North Pack Monadnock summit. Then back to Pack Monadnock and down the Wapac trail. 3 summits 2100 ft vertical 8.5 Miles I enjoyed every minute
February 18, 2021The Wapac Trail gains half the elevation in the first half mile. Then stretches the balance over the next mile. Right now the snow is packed and frozen. Spikes or good snow shoes are a must. I love all the trails at pack and north pack monadnock. Its great exercise and great views from the summit. If you are just a winter sport enthusiast then walk up the summit road and ski, snow board or sled your way down! I met 7 people with sleds today!! More snow tonight! Maybe I’ll snowshoe Pack Monadnock tomorrow!!

January 1, 2021We made it about 1/2 of the way, before having to turn back. It was moderately icy up to that point, but easy to avoid by going off trail. Until we reached a cliff area with solid ice, and no way to get around from either side. Made a pit stop at EMS for some microspikes for next time! Overall beautiful day and plenty of people out enjoying the trails.
January 1, 2021We went up Wapack trail and down the Marion Davis trail. Wapack trail was quite icy, and we needed to use our microspikes. If you don’t have spikes or would like to avoid lots of ice, we recommend sticking to the MD trail. Overall, a lovely winter hike with great views from the top!
December 27, 2020December 22, 2020Gorgeous hike. Not too long, and just the right amount of steepness for the winter. View from the summit is absolutely beautiful. If you do not have spikes, I would definitely make sure not to do this in reverse. Started around 1:30pm finished around 3:30 with a break at the top.

The very pleasant & informative park attendant told me the trail is actually 1.8 miles, not 1.4 as recorded. The rock scrambles were not too difficult, the trail was well-marked and well traveled so easy to follow, and had a good balance of a few steeper parts with more gently sloped areas in between. Between the ledges and the rest of the trail in the forest, very pretty & peaceful, and a good amount of shade with few leaves. The Marion Davis trail down on the other hand was covered in leaves and had some very steep parts, few evergreens, and the blue blazes were a bit more difficult to spot. My poles saved me from slipping twice so take care.
