Figured it was time for the west side of the island to receive some FKT love!

This is a route that runs coast to coast (Seal Cove to Somes Sound) across the west side of Mount Desert Island, covering all the mountain peaks along the track in just over 13 miles. 

Here you are summiting Bernard, Mansell, Beech, Acadia, St. Sauveur, and Flying mountains along the way. Rugged terrain, beautiful views, and less crowds than the east side (and, IMO, the best mountains and views in the park...). 

Route starts at Kærvej, taking you through the beautiful Stenholt forrest, passing the eastside of Bølling Lake, down to Harbovad and back to the startline passing the westside og Bølling lake 

Starting from the Starr King TH off Route 2, follow the yellow Cohos Trail blazes over the entirety of the Kilkenny to Kilkenny Ridge TH or vise versa. Please note that access to the parking at Kilkenny Ridge TH is restricted both daily and seasonally. You can access on foot outside opening hours (red gate). 

This route hits all the spur peaks along the way namely Terrace Mountain, The Horn, and Unknown Pond Peak together with all the peaks that are summited on the main trail. The trail is largely following Kilkenny Ridge trail and Star King trail.
