Pennsylvania Section of the NCT "North Country Trail" 12.9 Miles
Started on the Ohio - Pennsylvania border and headed into Game lands 285. The terrain would range from your typical flood way to rolling hills averaging grades between 8% to 18%.
I was a little over dressed and needed to strip some layers,
it warmed up quickly. The overnight low was 52 degrees; bit it was 64 degrees
by the time I got to the trailhead.
I stuffed them into my pack and headed out. It was nice and
nearly void of people. I saw only one couple and they were on their turn around
leg of their hike.
I keep looking at my handheld Garmin 64sx looking at the
elevations and what not. Please always
remember All-trails and all other web-based data is not accurate ever!
I would rate this hike for the average hiker in average
hiker health as an easy hike. When there were steep grade changes, they were
very gradual I thought.
I did not see a lot of wildlife. I did see an adult Lantern
Fly and recorded the GPS coordinates and emailed it to the Depart of
Agriculture of the state of Pennsylvania.
The 12.9 mile hike is what I needed in preparation for the
Monongahela NF trip in 17 days!!
