The North Country Trail is the longest of America’s eleven congressionally designated National Scenic Trails. Winding through seven states–New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota–the NCT’s 4,600 miles attract more than one million visitors annually. These hikers are treated to a smorgasbord of Upper Midwest hiking featuring everything from urban strolls to backcountry adventure through mountains, rivers, prairies, and shoreline. This book is the definitive guide for NCT hikers–whether first-timers, seasoned backpackers, or any level in between–who wish to maximize their experience on this splendid trail.
In addition to a full overview of the trail’s tread in each state, the guide describes in detail forty of the NCT’s premier segments, with helpful information including easy-to-read trail descriptions, physical and navigation difficulties, trail highlights, hiking tips, and precise maps incorporating the latest GPS technology.
