I started in March and ended in October, so seven months. I hiked 21 times, as short as a mile and as long as 8.5 miles at a time. I hiked on our Western Michigan Chapter Hikes, maintenance days, and attended the NCTA Celebration in Fargo. Sometimes I hiked alone and sometimes in groups as large as 30! I am proud of myself, since I am 61 and still hiking! I enjoyed every minute of all the different experiences. I think my favorites were the Prairies in ND and the fall woods of Michigan here in Newaygo County.
We hiked many state parks in Minnesota on the North Shore. Only three of our miles were on the NCT in Wisconsin. Since I live in Wisconsin, I really enjoyed seeing the scenery on the North Shore on the SHT and the Willard Munger trail. I am 70 years old and love to hike so this was the perfect challenge for me.
Had great fun hiking the beautiful North Country Trail. Began earlier in the year, took a break over the summer, then completed our miles in September, October, and November. Hiked several days in November on snow shoes after a big storm; ended the 100 by hiking (and cleaning) our section of the trail in a light snow fall. Found a "kill" and saw a wolf print in the snow yesterday!

I have been hiking the North Country Trail in the Western Pennsylvania state game lands for a few years. I decided last year to become a member of the Wampum chapter. I received a nice welcome letter from the Chapter encouraging me to come to the monthly meetings. After attending a meeting I decided to adopt a 4 mile section of trail near my home. I love walking here and most of my miles were walked here doing maintenance throughout the year. Other miles that I hiked were during the monthly hikes that the chapter holds.
We live in Dayton, Ohio and love to hike the trails in our local parks. The North Country Trail, using the Buckeye Trail corridor, passes through Dayton and very close to our house. We saw a notice for a hike in February to start the challenge and decided to go. It was a cold, snowy day and we missed the group, but did meet another person wanting to hike so we took off on the beginning of our adventure. Over the next eight months we did lots of hiking, but never again on the North Country Trail. Near us, the trail is primarily bike path and city streets - we often bike it, but usually do not hike it. In late October we decide it was time to get serious about completing this challenge. We have hiked out and back loops eleven times without repeating any sections. Our shortest day was 6 miles (the first one we did) and the longest was 11.5. We have enjoyed seeing where the trail goes in our area and there are still miles that we can explore in 2017 without having to drive far.
We completed the entire section of the NCT maintained by the Grand Traverse Hiking Club, all 105 miles. Our first 2016 challenge hike took place on May 6. We finished the last section on October 7. It was an on/off process but we enjoyed every mile - from the bountiful wild flowers of Spring to the reds and yellows of Fall's changing leaves. We were very fortunate to have great friends experience this beautiful trail with us and help out with shuttles for point-to-point hiking. Thanks to the National Park Service for all its support for the NCT. This was a fun way to celebrate the 100th anniversary.
Photo taken on Day 5 of our back along the Wokkpash Lopp route in Stone Mountain and Northern Rocky Mountain Provincial Parks in northern British Columbia. This day we day hiked in the Forlorn Lake area and up to Mt. Saint Magnus viewpoints.
100+ miles of great hiking through the Allegheny National Forest, the Hocking Hills Region, Slippery Rock Gorge and more!
Thank you for the Hike 100 Challenge. Spending time outdoors is something we enjoy but having this challenge got us outdoors even more. We experienced some great hiking along the North Shore of Lake Superior and in the Chequamegon National Forest. The variety of scenery and landscape seemed endless. Looking forward to exploring other sections of this great natural resource. Thanks again, Chris & Ron Kendziera

Prior to Sept 2016 I had hiked 14+ miles in Lake County, MI. When I started out for the meeting in Fargo, I was determined to finish the 100 miles. I saw many spectacular waterfalls and trails while crossing the Upper Peninsula of MI. On to WI, MN and ND, including my hikes during the Annual Conference. Five Days at Itasca State Park, MN included hiking on the trail every day. During my return trip, I hiked in OH, PA and NY. I even went to VT, crossing the bridge at Crown Point. Finally, yesterday, I concluded my 100 miles with a walk along the Hudson River near North Creek, NY. So happy to have finished.

Me and my dog Patrick have completed our 100 miles!!! It's very beautiful up there!!!! I love the trail!!!
Two good friends hiked all 100 miles on the Finger Lakes Trail/NCT in New York State. Saw lots of glorious gullies and fabulous forests. No much wildlife, but we did have a close encounter with some cows. On one hike in Allegany County, we had to enter the trail through a gated cow pasture. As we unlocked the gate several of the residents ambled over to inspect the intruders. We were surrounded. Speaking to the herd in a gentle voice, we hastily relocked the gate, squeezed past their large bodies, and found the trail. Fortunately they did not follow.
Hiked some new miles and some old favorites. As always, was a GREAT experience for self, nature and spirit - get out there people!

I completed most of my miles trail running in the Moraine State Park area. Headed north to Jennings Environmental Center, also. Enjoying the trail & look forward to exploring more of it in the future.
Freedom.
