Notes

Description
"By age twenty-five Heather Anderson had hiked the Appalachian, Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide Trails -- a combined distance of nearly eight thousand miles with a vertical gain of more than one million feet. Then, feeling it was time to settle down, Heather retired from long-distance hiking, married, and started a career. But her urge for wilderness was too strong, and she realized nothing could replace the comfort she found while hiing. Her marriage crumbled. She quit her job. And she walked back into the mountains. In THIRST: 2600 MILES TO HOME, Heather, whose trail name is 'Anish,' explores her motivations in returning to the trail -- and to her record-setting success on the PCT when she hiked 40-plus miles a day, often walking late into the night by glow of a head-lamp, and facing down rattlesnakes, mountain lions, bears, raging rivers, snow, and lighting. She shares her joy in leaving behind a mundane life, and amid the rigors of the trail -- the pain, fear, lonliness, and dangers -- she discovers the greater rewards of both community and self-fulfillment. She learns tht setting records is merely a catalyst, teaching her how to live a life of courage, confidence and purpose." -- cover page 4.
