[pct-l] Longest Trails

[chwillet@indiana.edu (Christopher Willett)]

The North Country trail is about 40% or so complete and will eventually
run from eastern New York to central North Dakota (south?).  Projected
length is on the order of 4200 miles.  The TCT is, I
presume, the Trans Canada trail.  I don't think it is ever to be
completed, but it is projected at being in the neighborhood of 6000 miles
and is to run from coast to coast through Canada.
The CDT is the Continental Divide trail and is about, I think 70%
complete.  Official projected length is something on the order of 3100
miles.  Since non of these trails are complete, actual mileage on a thru
hike varies.
