Luke Prescott

After having travelled the country as a seasonal worker over the past three years, Luke will be attempting a northbound thru hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2023. Originally hailing Massachusetts, Luke’s passion for hiking and backpacking came from his time spent in Arizona and living and working in the national parks as a “parkie”. He looks forward to the experiences both the good and difficult parts of the trail as he ever so gradually meanders his way home to New England.
