New Hampshire's "Ghost Trail"


Overview Map
(click to enlarge)

The "Ghost Trail" of New Hampshire is an unofficial hiking route that links the trails of Southern New Hampshire (M-M Trail, M-S Greenway, and SRK Greenway) to the Cohos Trail's southern tip at Crawford Notch in the White Mountains. From there, it's 170 miles along the Cohos Trail to the Canadian border.  K.r. Nilsen wrote an article about the Ghost Trail around the same time I was hiking the "Moose Mountain Express" ad hoc connector to the Appalachian Trail. After reading the article in 2021, curiosity got the best of me. So I section-hiked the Ghost Trail and also finished off the southern end of the Cohos Trail.   Here are the posts:
