Happy 30th Birthday North Country National Scenic Trail!!!

Posted on March 5, 2010 by Kate Lemon

Yes, it’s true…the NCT turns the big 3-0 today. It was on March 5, 1980 that Congress amended the National Trails System Act to officially designate the North Country National Scenic Trail!

Thanks go to Tom Gilbert of the National Park Service, all the trail partners across the 7-states, and all the current and former North Country Trail volunteers for making the last 30 years so memorable.

Everybody sing “Happy Birthday” in the Trail’s honor…
