"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin."
-William Shakespeare
The NCT
The North Country Trail System is massive, stretching across 7 states and 4600 miles. As the name suggest the trail goes through the northern parts of the country.
I went out with a group of SRU students and faculty for two nights and two days. Admittedly, since i didn't plan for this, I didn't put a heavy emphasis on the trip details. But I believe it was about 24 miles and out where the trail goes into the Allegheny National Forest. I did however take a tremendous amount of pictures.
One benefit of hiking with new people is you see how others are packing, cooking, or whatever and learn. Eventually you'll be teaching others. Below I have a some pictures of our camp sights.
Some creatures I came by to the right.
Scenic shots below. Unfortunately there some oil something going on here.
And to the bottom left a tiny women hugging a giant tree. Ha ha.
Nature is truly beautiful.
Trail blaze to the left, most trails are marked out with these.
The NCT is just too large to summarize. But if your going through the Allegheny National Forest you probably don't want it to be your first trip out.
You have some beautiful pictures here. I think it is amazing that we are a trail that goes through seven different states. I feel like it is a nice connection between the different areas of the United States.
