Please join us on Sunday May 3rd for a very special event!
Originally from Gratiot County, Heather Anderson discovered backpacking at the age of 20 while working at the Grand Canyon. Since then, her feet have carried her more than 50,000 miles on trails around the world. A legend in the long-distance hiking community, Heather has set Fastest Known Times (FKTs) on trails such as the Appalachian Trail (AT), Arizona Trail, and Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). In 2018 she became the first female hiker to complete a calendar year Triple Crown of Thru-Hiking, hiking the AT, PCT, and Continental Divide Trail (CDT) in one year. For this feat, she was honored as a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year. Heather has written several books about her journeys including Thirst: 2600 Mile to Home; Mud, Rocks, Blazes: Letting Go on the Appalachian Trail; and Farther: Eight Months on America’s Triple Crown Trails.
Start by joining us at 2:00pm for a hike with Heather at Bundy Hill Preserve.
After the hike, join us at 5:00pm at the Veterans Memorial Library Annex in Mt. Pleasant where Heather will be discussing Farther, her most recent book.
Copies of Heather’s books will be available for purchase at the event.
