The Upper Coos Recreational Trail meanders through a landscape of forest, farms and fields. (MARTY BASCH PHOTO)

The Connecticut River wiggled its way through the landscape, dotted by the rounded peaks of Vermont like Mount Monadnock to the west and the verdant farms and fields of northern New Hampshire to the east.

Though the ride was bumpy at times due to stray railroad ties still in place and a variable surface that is shared with off-road vehicles, the Upper Coos Recreational Trail is a raw northern gem somewhat reminiscent of the Ammonoosuc Rail Trail in the western White Mountains. Though the Upper Coos did seem a bit tamer.
