Juneau, AK! Filled with mountain peaks rising from the ocean. In Juneau there are 5 popular peaks that people call the big 5. Mt. Mcginnis, Thunder Mountain, Roberts peak, Mt. Juneau, and Mt. Jumbo. All the trails leading up to the peaks have their own set of challenges that include climbing roots, running through muskeg, scrambling over rocks, etc. The terrain is not the only obstacle you have to face. Juneau is located in a temperate rain forest and receives on average 71 inches of rain per year. So you have to wait days, weeks, and sometimes months in order for the weather to cooperate.

The North Country National Scenic Trail is the longest national trail. Going from North Dakota to Vermont, it passes through eight states and is approximately 4,600 miles in length. However, most of the trail remains incomplete, and leverages connecting roads to span the distance. This, along with the landmarks along the route, creates naturally defined sections. This FKT highlights the Wisconsin section. The trail traverses Wisconsin over roughly 209 miles, from the boarder of Minnesota to the Michigan Upper Peninsula. This includes a combination of road connectors and trail.
