Author Joan H. Young pens How to Hike the North Country Trail

The first 100 pages of How to Hike the North Country Trail: not quite a Guide explain why the North Country Trail is unique among National Scenic Trails and why its political history causes the checkerboard of allowed uses found along its length.

 

One cannot just camp anywhere along the trail. This requires much

more planning for a long hike than some hikers expect. The rest of

the book is the first-ever attempt to list all the legal places to camp or find

lodging along the 4800 miles of the NCT. As the title says, it's "not quite a

guide." This trail is still too long and too fluid to publish the level of

detail that a true guide would contain. However, the book in conjunction with

the free interactive map at northcountrytrail.org, is a great aid in creating a

plan for a long hike.
