By Kim Nilsen

The mile-high peaks of New Hampshire's White Mountain National Forest are a mecca for Inkers in the eastern United States, but sometimes you'd rather get away from crowds and enjoy a hike on a less-traveled route. That's where this guide begins, where die heavily used trails end-north of die White Mountains. This area is vast, holding waterfalls, canyons, elevated meadows, deep cold lakes, and drop-dead cliff faces. Here sprawls die sparsely populated realm of central and northern Coos County, a million acres of wild country and logging lands that few people know anything about and fewer venture into. But there is an entire universe of tramper terrain here to be explored, new trails to try, and historic old pathways to get acquainted with. You'll have access to diem all with this guidebook, written by die seasoned NH hiker who created die 165-mile Cohos Trail. Some of die trails in tins book are die product of his ideas and work. Hikes range in length from less than 1 mile to 11 miles, or you can choose to traverse die whole length of die Cohos Trail. Hikes also vary in difficulty so you can find an outing suitable for everyone in your party. Also included are detailed maps for each bike, scenic photos, and a Hikes-at-a-Glance table that makes choosing your desired hike a breeze.
