Northville- Placid Trail thru hike

Tomcat · 09-14-2020, 02:22 PM

The first week of September I set out to hike the NPT. Six days later I succeeded. Other than a wet start, the trip went well. I have a photo heavy, thorough TR at my website at the link below.

Good stuff! This is a great time of year to hike the NPT for reasons you laid out at the end of your report. I'll be heading out to the Adirondacks in a few weeks and am considering kicking off my trip in the West Canada Lakes wilderness area. Looks nice in those photos!

Thanks for the report. I appreciate reading of your experience. The NPT is a long term goal of mine but 20+ mile days are no longer a realistic expectation for me. I'll need to add a few days to your adventure but hopefully I can still make it a reality. My biggest issue is I'm not against going alone but my wife would be a lot happier if I had some company. To be honest, I probably would as well since it's always nice to have another person to talk to.

That's all for now. Take care and until next time...be well.
