In September 2015, Washington resident Heather “Anish” Anderson hiked the 2,200 Appalachian Trail in 54 days, 7 hours and 48 minutes. Hiking 16-18 hours a day, she averaged 40 miles a day, setting a new fast-speed thru-hike record for FKT (fastest know time) for an ‘unsupported” hiker on the AT.
Three years earlier Heather hiked the entire Pacific Crest Trail in 60 days, also the woman’s unsupported speed-hike record. Come hear Heather’s compelling life story and trail story of her time on the AT. She’ll show and explain the gear she used.
There will be a Q&A following her slide-show presentation. After Heather's presentation will be a screening of a 50 minute National Geographic film of the Appalachian Trail, with wonderful cinematography and scenery.
