Introducing the North Country National Scenic Trail

Andrea Ketchmark, Executive Director of the North Country Trail Association, gives listeners an overview of the North Country Trail - including some must hike sections across the 8-state 5000 mile trail. The North Country Trail Association is located in my home state of Michigan in Lowell - and you can follow the blazes right to their office. Andrea shares some of the behind the scenes work the NCTA does and the many ways that we can enjoy and also support the trail.
