If you haven't seen the new issue of Backpacker magazine yet, there is
about a five page feature on the North Country Trail as "America's Next
Great Long Trail". It gives highlights of the trail from North Dakota
to New York and recommendations on planning for a thru hike. Good to
see the NCT is finally gettng a little recognition! If you didn't know
better, based on publicity, there are only three trails in the National
Scenic Trail system: ATC, Continental Divide, and Pacific Crest. Oh,
make it four: there's a lot of articles about the John Muir trail in
California.
