At just 19 years old Kyle Lutz has thru-hiked both the Appalachian Trail (AT) and Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and is embarking on his Continental Divide thru-hike this spring. On this episode we talk about our common experiences in thru-hiking, tell funny trail stories and get philosophical on the WHY of a long distance hike.
