[1] The mountain lies within the towns of Sharon, Temple and Peterborough.

The 22-mile (35 km) Wapack Trail traverses the mountain.

The northern face includes the state-owned 350-acre (1.4 km2) Temple Mountain Reservation Area, formerly Temple Mountain Ski Area.

Pack Monadnock Mountain is located directly to the north along the Wapack ridgeline; Kidder Mountain to the south.

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.
