This is the portion of the North Country Trail that falls within the Sheyenne National Grasslands in North Dakota (read more about the Grasslands here: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/dpg/recarea/?recid=79470).

I'll be attempting to establish a women's FKT tomorrow, June 10, starting at the East trailhead (heading west). Tracking link: https://share.garmin.com/LauraParsonFKT

Finished in 5:39:03; absolutely perfect conditions and trail except for the herd of cows (and protective mamas) blocking the trail between mile 37 and 38. I gave them a wide berth as instructed (and for my own safety).
