Pack Monadnock is located 10 maybe 15 miles east of Mount Monadnock on Southern NH. It is not really a monadnock, its actually just the high point of a ridge which starts off near the Massachusetts border. There are two peaks north and south. The south peak is slightly higher at 2305', south peak is about 2290'. I climbed only the south peak this time. Views were hazy so another trip is in order in the future. The trail was 1.4 miles with about 950 feet of gain. It is not a constant grade but rather steep than flat.
