[pct-l] sleeping bags, now trail acronyms

[GottaWalk]

Hi Rod,

You were correct that AZT is the Arizona Trail.

ADT is the coast to coast American Discovery Trail.

ICT is the Idaho Centennial Trail which is like a short PCT in that it starts on the high desert, follows mountains through Wilderness Areas, and finishes in the rain forest.

The G2G is the Grand to Grand Ultra that was featured in an article in May 2013 Backpacker Mag. The 165 mile route starts at the north rim of the Grand Canyon, AZ and finishes at the Grand Staircase Escalante, UT. The red rock country is spectacular! 

I am seriously considering the ZPacks 20 degree bag!

What are the AZT (Arizona Trail?), ADT, G2G, and ICT? Please list and
explain other trail acronyms that are commonly used. Thanks!
