My name is Noah, and I am currently 28 years old. I will be trying to hike across part of the ADT in the summer of 2026.

Born and raised in Wisconsin, though I've since lived in Colorado and Virginia. I've always loved traveling and being outdoors. I've been daydreaming of packing a bag and walking to the coast for a while now.

After some research, I came across the American Discovery Trail and it seemed like the perfect path. I'll be starting in Waterloo, Iowa in early June and heading west toward Point Reyes. My first goal is crossing the plains and reaching Denver, where I have some friends and family. After that, we'll see. I'm not entirely sure this is something I can do, but I want to find out.

Wish me luck!
