A Taste of the Cohos Trail: Northbound Wanderlust

North of the White Mountains

The Cohos Trail runs the length of Coos County, starting in the White Mountains to the south, and threading its way through Northern New Hampshire to the Canadian Border. While I’ve hiked most of the southern sections of the Cohos (pronounced co’-haus), this was the first section I’d hiked north of the Kilkenny Wilderness, which is the northernmost extent of the White Mountain National Forest, and the edge of the world as far as most White Mountain hikers are concerned.

I’d tagged along on an Appalachian Mountain Club weekend section hike led by two close friends, to get a first hand look at this section of the Cohos Trail and see what hiking in the north country was all about.

I’m hooked.
