Rue spent 600 days hiking the roughly 14,000 mile APT, around the circumference of the U.S.A.. Rue is only days away from finishing the entirety of the trail, which he plans on doing this summer. Rue talks about his adventures on trail and the things he has learned from all his hiking experience as well as starting a long distance trail and conservation corridor.
