About this listen
By age 25, Heather Anderson had hiked what is known as the "Triple Crown" of backpacking: the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Continental Divide Trail - a combined distance of 7,900 miles with a vertical gain of more than one million feet. A few years later, she left her job, her marriage, and a dissatisfied life and walked back into those mountains.
In her new memoir, Thirst: 2600 Miles to Home, Heather, whose trail name is "Anish", conveys not only her athleticism and wilderness adventures, but also shares her distinct message of courage - her willingness to turn away from the predictability of a more traditional life in an effort to seek out what most fulfills her. Amid the rigors of the trail - pain, fear, loneliness, and dangers - she discovers the greater rewards of community and of self, conquering her doubts and building confidence. Ultimately, she realizes that records are merely a catalyst, giving her purpose, focus, and a goal to strive toward.

What an inspiring read
This book made me want to “just walk”. A very honest and raw read that anyone who feels the ‘need’ to hike will enjoy.

Pretty good
For hiking book fans, this is an interesting read. The author takes a pretty punishing approach to the Pacific Crest Trail, continuously pushing her body to its limits. Like many who write about the PCT, she finds she needs to look within during her long hike, to discover what was so frustrating about the normal life outside the trail. Several times during the reading, I just wished she could eat, sleep, enjoy and hydrate more and just generally enjoy each moment. However, her drive and achievement are very impressive to read about and she obviously loves the trail. This is a great read and a really interesting perspective.
