Overview
More views along the wayHolt Peak is a major landmark on the Wapack Trail, the oldest interstate trail in the United States. It lies as the highest point on Temple Mountain and the third highest summit on the trail (Pack Monadnock, and North Pack Monadnock are first and second respectfully). Though views are limited at best on the summit of Holt Peak there are plenty of fine view to be seen on the journey to this summit from either the north or the south.
Along the way up the mountainGetting to summit is easy from either the north or the south. The Wapack trail never leaves Class 1 and there are plenty of views both ways. The best views are on the north side from the top of the ski area. Pack Monadnock and North Pack Monadnock are in the foreground with the Uncunoonucs and Joe English Hill in the background.
