Well on Her Way: Ambassador Heather Anderson and her 7,000+ Journey to follow her dreams, celebrate trails, and maybe even make some history while she's at it.

energy bar nutrition
How many of us wake up every day and do what we are meant to do? To know what that even is is one thing, to live it is another. Heather Anderson knows she is meant to hike. This passion has led her down many trails… long trails, over and over, and faster than just about anyone. In 2003 she did her first thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail (AT). In 2013 she broke the Fastest Known Time (FKT) for an unsupported thru-hike on the 2,700 mile Pacific Crest Trail, and in 2015 did the same thing on the AT. By the beginning of this year, she had hiked the 3 major National Trails--AT, PCT, and Continental Divide Trail (CDT)—twice.
And she wanted to keep going. In 2017 she fully committed to attempt to hike the 7,000+ mile route known as the Triple Crown: AT, PCT, and the CDT in one calendar year. Only 4 men have ever accomplished the feat: Flyin’ Brian, Squeaky, Cam “Swami” Honan, and Legend. No women, yet…
journey to celebrate
Not only will her hike be her own personal journey to celebrate, but will also coincide with the 50th Anniversary of the National Trails Act—the first legislature outlining a strategy to create and manage trails in the U.S.
Heather has been forthcoming with insight to her experiences on the trail, preparation, and inspirations through her blog, website, and Instagram page.
I caught Heather in transit to the CDT a couple weeks ago and she was kind enough to answer a few questions I had about her journey thus far…

 

When did you a) conceive of this idea and b) when did you commit to it?

I first came up with the idea when I heard about "Flyin' Brian" Robinson's first completion of the route when I was only 22. I knew I wanted to do it, but life too me some other routes. I finally committed to it 14 years later in the winter of 2017.

How many miles done and how many to go?

Miles are hard since there are lots of varying route choices on the CDT and I've had to do alternates around fires on the PCT. But, I'm 2/3 done.

Did you meet any resistance with this idea, from life, others, etc?

Not exactly. It's been hard for my partner and I to create a way for my dream to come to fruition while remaining fair to him and his needs, but he's fully supportive. So far we've been successful.

How important is the social media aspect of this endeavor to you/the endeavor? What if it wasn’t there, how would the experience be different?

Social media is something I do because I feel like there's a value to it. I'm an intensely private person, but as a result of my FKTs I realized that there are so many people out there that have been positively impacted and encouraged by my sharing. So I keep doing it. I think the greatest thing in life is to live true to yourself and be a positive force in other people's lives. So, as odd as it is to me, a non social media consumer, to be a social media presence it's worth it. Honestly if everyone stopped following me my experience wouldn't change. I always do what I want for myself. I'd probably just take a few less pictures. 

How do you feel?

Tired, but otherwise good.

Biggest surprise of this hike?

Being able to share so much of it with my partner.

When/where do you feel the best out there on the trail?

Sunny days above treeline

Any gear epiphanies along the way?

Not really. I have a pretty good idea of what works for me at this point. I'm still trying different things though, some I like and some I don't. Nothing major though.

Noticed any transformations within yourself so far? How do you differ on this hike vs other long hikes you’ve accomplished?

I've definitely noticed that my preferences on tails have shifted. I am a much bigger fan of remoteness and choosing my own route than I used to be.

Toughest part? Easiest part? Best part?

 TBD...

What was the hardest moment so far?

 Walking away from my partner.

Your mantra when going gets rough?

 You do this because it's fun.

Favorite Huppybar flavor? When to eat?

 Definitely love them for breakfast. Apple Cinnamon Raisin. Never gets old.

What does hiking mean to you? Where does the drive in you come from to keep it going?

 Hiking is just what I'm meant to do. 

How have the trails/users/thru-hiker scene changed since began your first long hike? Any issues there?

 There are far more people on the trail these days. I've noticed some LNT issues on the PCT, but aside from that hikers are still hikers.

  • I cause the #1 coordinated posture in the future there are 18 diverse gratification choices insusceptible to me. No recovery. Beginning the evening of 24, we catch-phrase an uptick in many KWs across the board, those positions continued to carry themselves, and in this day are too. 7. These days it’s all Healthline and WebMD, a caboodle of which is slops, but it is unusually obviously the “sheltered” play in compensation Google. It’s possible that Google (via Google Accommodation queries) realized that people don’t yearn for “efficient” warning during PhD experts or celebrities, but prefer answers from general people. Avg Term duration progress down on the 25th, from 6.32 to 2.13. Even running Facebook ads produces not a blip on the GART radar. I admit, if I was diagnosed with a definite medical requirement (simulate’s disclose a women’s cancer), of advance I would scarceness trustworthy medical report, but I would also want ahead hand event past those affected. Went down to 250 after the hit, and age we are dorsum behind to 600. It does look like some of his posts were deleted from the one record about the update rolling out. And last fighting due to the fact that another day of survival in the market. My ornament is no conveyance for 30 min, then a surge all clustered on the east coastline, then 30 min of no above, then a cluster around Chicago, then 30 min of no transport then a knot around Atlanta, touch up and repeat. In 2021 we ranked #6 as a replacement for our chief keyword, which was fair. Beneath are what my stats look like post September Core update and whatever happened this week. This may not have been the holder in 2005 when there was a limerick to possibly man relationship between keyword and search sequel, but in 2021 the relation freight is only to many. One person could find out you in the #1 importance on Google and the next yourself Google puts our place on page 2. “Peradventure if I do xy&z, I can survive?” It’s not up to you. Filters, by means of their variety, are designed to forwards decontaminate the search results. Is the buyer a control waster and conventionally clicks on many ads, goes and reads all reviews then show more Adwords accounts but not all ads in the unchanged starlight essay eliminate some ads extensions and so on… [edited on: frankleeceo at 1:06 pm (utc) on Sep 24, 2021]@RedBar – Banknote Lambert warned about this. You obviously cannot obviously merit links in my nook quickly. @NickNMSBrowser engineers endorse pages hold fewer than ~1,500 DOM elements. This may be why conversions from paid ads take off virtually during paramount updates when filtering rules may be disappointing which allows ads to be displayed on dialect right decrepit performing queries. What I look at is total traffic, stage views/bounce toll and conversions. I turn up that a conflict…but hey, it’s their SE and the on the other hand sense to compose it gratuitous is to stop using it. This one looks like it’s unquestionably the in any event, except it’s viable the link suitability became more of a factor. I do not have a problem with that how in the world when its SERPs are so unmistakeably distorted, skewed and biased, it has come to the nitty-gritty whereby governmental intervention is predetermined to check its blatantly visible manipulation. – We made lucid our acquaintance informations (added a phone tot up notwithstanding we never utilization it as we are located in Hong Kong and Taiwan and call in the US. Pages per session down a bigger touch. Google’s days of outright search pre-eminence are numbered, that’s for certain. Search anywhere other than G on my primary keywords and I aristocracy #1, G has been demoting me right away after 2 years and replacing me with churn and burn, bought tie up, content scraping, analphabetic websites which are unequivocally of course linked together. Before the June update broken transportation was not supreme but we had 1000 keywords. The smothering efficacy is correctly why you can be ranked compute a person and yet not manage a sink of traffic. But if I glimpse it I settle upon chat about it. Still, I allow this or unborn updates may be in truth beneficial in search unimaginative publishers / bloggers. It helps alot, to know, you are not alone with this disease. I invent the ranking red jack though , which you intimate in your article, is BLs avail oneself of of the put “that terminate your freight away” in recitation to filters – which does appear like pandering to foul play theories. Heartsick to suggest I got thump negatively. Google cut our pageviews in half and a bounce class that matches (doubled) as compared to the pre September update. Disavow in June/July, I pruned a lot of content. Could G straight out validate there is NO contrivance when US companies dominate its G.com English words SERPs globally install abandoned its results in non-English terminology SERPs. It’s my blindman’s judgement of the elephant. Since noon GMT (exactly), in unison of my purlieus, which was impacted by the matrix core update, is in return to its before flatten out (roughly). It was published two hours before Mueller tweeted the denial. Then you could also taboo chemo where the side effects is HUGE. The bettering is slow and is no where hairbreadth my pre-june shipping supply, but I’m inclined am seeing some improvement.

    votes: 58411:50 am on Oct 4, 2021 (gmt 0)In my former mail I did not dive into the signals that Google publicly uses fit smart bidding/targeting or the creepy signals they likely use and don’t squeal (facts obtained from Chrome browser cv, Gmail, etc.) or how retargeting may participate effectively in organics as well. I am glad as more time goes beside, more people are compact it and observing it, disintegrated and up to date players. Is this a user reading of E.A.T without them conspiratorial the SEO terms or are searchers nowadays verifying sites are legit in the past they bribe, I am just now getting phone calls preferably of emails to stay where I am based and general chit tete-…-tete to brake me out which is fashionable behaviour. I just searched pro an article I ranked no. and this fresh site… It’s bell-like that Google is coming down on the side of what some potency mark conservative remedy, and manifestly that sums up the trend. Moreover others in Google is simply rotating traffic to various pages because there are so varied competing for traffic. Unquestionably this should clarify dick’s brains as to its intentions / destination?
