At this point the NCT is about 60% off-road. The rest has not been constructed yet as it has only been around for 30 years. Most of what hasn't been built yet is on private property, so it will take...

So far 11 people have completed the entire trail. Only 3 of those were done in one shot however. There is another thru-hiker out there right now due to finish soon, and at least 3 more will be...
