    Default NCT new web site

    New and much improved it seems. You can now see the trail on Google maps, which seems to be the biggest improvement. But I haven't gone through and looked at everything that's new. Check it out!

    Yeah, I saw the notice of the new website
    and checked it out. I immediately started playing
    with the maps. Pretty cool

    I've heard that the trails of the NCT are not permitted to exceed an incline of 10%. Is that correct?

    That is mostly correct. Steeper grades are permitted for short section ans special circumstances, for instance no reasonable way to reroute around a steep section.

    The trouble I have with campfires are the folks that carry a bottle in one hand and a Bible in the other.

    Hey. Thank you. What a great tip. I'll have to remember that. Always read to the end of WB thread listings.

    Go to "The Trail" on the top blue header, then click on "Explore By State". Pick a state and then click on "Web Mapping App.".
