The North Country National Scenic Trail Geotrail (NCTGT) is
a collaborative effort between the North Country Trail Association
(NCTA) and the Allegheny National Forest Chapter (ANF chapter) of
the NCTA. 100 individual caches are hidden approximately a mile
apart on the ANF chapter’s 100 mile section of the North
Country Trail. This section runs from the New York border to the PA
66 trailhead South of Marienville, Pennsylvania.

Each cache in this geotrail is unique and can be logged
individually. However, for a real challenge, and to earn a
commemorative North Country Trail medallion, you could find 50 of
the NCTGT caches and retrieve the hidden code words written on the
inside of the lids of each of the 50 caches that you find.
A pamphlet with spaces to write the code words for each of the
100 caches is found
HERE.
When you find a cache, write its code word or letter on the
corresponding spot on your pamphlet. When you have found any 50
NCTGT geocaches and have the corresponding code words written on
the pamphlet, send it with your name, geocaching name and address
to the address on the pamphlet.
Shortly after sending in your pamphlet, you will receive your
North Country Trail medallion that will forever remind you of the
real treasure that you gained by completing the NCTGT. That
treasure is experiencing a large portion of a national treasure
that we are very lucky to have pass through our part of
Pennsylvania.
