Are you looking for some 2016 New Year Resolution ideas? Here's a great way to get some miles in while enjoying some terrific scenery. The North Country Trail runs through multiple states from western New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota. Since this is the 100 year anniversary of our nation's first national parks, the North Country Trail (which is part of the national park system) is offering the Hike 100 Challenge!
I live about 20 miles east of where the NCT is located. Last summer, I hiked it multiple times from an easy three mile exploration trial to a more rigorous 7.3 mile jaunt, My friend, Chris, hiked it even more, including camping on the trail. I'm hoping that by signing up for this challenge, it will encourage me to get out even more and explore more segments of this beautiful trail.
Here are some pics from a couple of my 2015 hikes! I may even try some snowshoeing on it this year - if the snow ever comes! Challenge yourself - sign up here!
