Luke takes listeners on his journey of being the 4th person to thru hike the North Country Trail in 2013. We chat about the challenges of thru hiking the longest national scenic trail in the United States, logistics around planning for the hike and how he transitioned to a career working with the NCTA.  Luke also gives an overview of another long distance trail that is less than a decade old - The Great Plains trail. We talk about the future of that trail and how he was the first person to thru hike it.
