Connecting the Appalachian Trail and the North Country Trail through the Long Trail

 Connecting trails has become a key point in planning my journey. Today I began to research the gap between the Appalachian trail and the North Country trail. To my surprise, it wasn't as difficult as I expected. Here's what I found:

  • The NCT has been extended into Vermont and intersects the Long Trail (the map includes planned portions of the trail which might not be completed).
  • The Long Trail runs south and intersects the Appalachian Trail near route 4.

The NCT ends here.

Now I feel much more confident knowing that I can connect these trails!
