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.
Expect plenty of blowdowns and classic White Mountain ruggedness!
As Picnic variation you can close the loop on bike on Stark Hwy and Main Street and Presidential Hwy.
