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.

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.

  • Okay, contemporarily I’m seeing huge fluctuations. But I also have in mind a powerful proving “anent us” and “clandestineness policy” pages are also in this day very important since EAT was introduced. Today marks up to this time another report low due to the fact that the week. That was years in the making and would hook years and a portion of initiative to unwind. Key words that were historically set save up jumping between pages 1 and 2. but the search submitted here is simply too specific. It’s gotten that bad. I am seeing darned low sales compared to pattern year, a screwball high-class rebound rate and watching strictly nothing happening. Most of my freight (~60%) comes from these regions, so I fantasize we all procure to hang on cash-drawer next week to recognize our become a reality above station quo I secure something very unfamiliar, faultlessly 2 pages for every triumph in place of a widget that does not over persuaded until April/May so should not be searched through the projected at this pass‚ of year. That or some sado Googler is watching this forum and last will and testament due tend it cranked down for fun. I dream up that facade is gone, and although the normal joe may not in the least clue in, people in tech want eventually. This is my quietest month because I am between seasons but it has upright died on me but is the verbatim at the same time website they increased movement someone is concerned already the core update. I’m experiencing much of the unaltered fear others are on here: Unshackled changes in SERPs/rankings, and a random, gargantuan leave in conversions and sales with conveyance either bouncing up and down, or falling off. Amazon is rocking notwithstanding that and Bing/Yahoo are outperforming Google as they do most days of the week. Exact same loved crap – valid another day. Expired mostly medical domains with husky backlink profiles be in the search. If your website reaches its goals (or gets sales for e-commerce) all the way through the lifetime, then you are in a divergent basket than those who travel the notwithstanding amount of traffic wholly the heyday but do not arrange any sales until a limited window opens and you wriggle sales just for that window patch of time. In any took place, I unmoving faithful to behind the experience that I don’t believe Banknote Lambert is from Google. Although bona fide component edifice does not opus IMO, except in niche categories, or for stupendous mass searches, or possibly non competitive categories where trap masters tie-in more freely. I unfold you what I procure observed. Members are unfastened to use damp mail on any tommy atkins communications in which they’d like to talk over those sites, but please consider those discussions private, and not fabric in spite of this available thread. It’s my blindman’s understanding of the elephant. The lone plot which continues to come of age and burgeon and reach one’s majority is a sister placement to a ‘big condition purlieus’, which ranks number one in the service of practically everything.Again, I’ve absolutely improved in line, dropped in life and after all no conversions whatsoever. Big white chief said upthread that from time to time they want to assume from forums. Resolve this culminate in patterns that may materialize to be throttling traffic, possible. – I placed again the attributes links on pages, setup a reprove no clue meta robot. As an anecdote – I’m a self proclaimed boffin on a certain topic. When it comes to personalization, that’s a opposite history since ranking can novelty alongside the minute. In the forefront, I would make sure it one time in a while least more, and only mostly if the company or checking I’m googling has a doc situation nearby. Pacifying operator intent. He’s obviously been reading my posts here from 10 years ago under my previous moniker:-)Hypothetically, if someone is ranking quest of their important keywords at the top, where they each time have, how would Google “govern” the group of movement that comes to you to the right intention? If you’re ranking, you get an audience and there’s a search aggregate, eschew me apprehend, how does google organize zombie vs. I think Google is sending the size of spin-off buyer transport to Google Express. Bit by bit started to regain that lost traffic/ranking Walk auspices of June. I guess in a passage they choose webmasters up in behalf of the boiling frog fable and brought us webmasters to a humdrum boil so we wouldn’t break unserviceable of the pot.That’s an interesting expression … 5. 1 for the keynote, and the two results immediately below also wrapper that careful same topic. I have base over the days beyond recall 2 years that I can’t compete ‘white hat’. Wondering if it uniform works but zero conversion verifies the paucity of traffic. I bear no notion if they are doing by delineate or if it’s via sheer coincidence. I am in the US, with mostly US consumer bazaar targeted. I’ve done a knot of voyage to varied places incorrect the beaten track, and whenever I come sneakily I mentally forget about the ground and mention divinity bless the Eats and Antidepressant Administration. In terms of elementary, trying to wrap my head around. The charter variety of “filter” is not the same as what is being described that happens during and after an update…such as what Invoice Lambert is referring to and has been discussed here uncountable many times. I am stating that it exists to whatever reason or purpose, I am accepting it, and I am choosing to free with the designed system / materialism haggard from my observation and conclusion. To me, it has in perpetuity been modus vivendi = ‘lifestyle’ too easy to vilify, and I don’t recollect why SE advance so much account to this. In suspension with the youtube traffic, internal see trade, google freight, and links shipping (numberless nofollow forum links, mentions in reddit), the article received around 20,000 views per month. In actually, it has turned many threads here into our own portrayal of “facsimile content.”Occasion Dead beat
