Joan Young of Scottsville was the first woman to hike every step of the North Country Trail (NCT) and now she’s doing it again. The first time she did it in sections over the better part of two decades. Now, she’s aiming to do it all in a year. Young, 73, started at US-10 and started walking on December 1. If all goes to plan, she’ll head east until she reaches the farthest reaches of the tail in Vermont. Then, she’ll travel to North Dakota where she’ll pick up the trail again heading towards home. Her goal is to finish on December 1, 2022, exactly a year from when she started. At a steady clip of 15 miles per day that gives her some wiggle room for rest days during the next year on the trail.
