Mexico to Canada by Foot - Heather Anderson

Through-hiking the 2,663 mile Pacific Crest Trail is regarded as a major achievement in American hiking, along with its eastern cousin, the 2,200 mile-long Appalachian Trail. Speed records stand for years, as few people attempt to hike the routes with much more than completion in mind. But this summer, Heather Anderson set to hike the Mexico-to-Canada trail in 60 days – an arbitrary number that she picked when she was first through-hiking the trail. She has been working her way up to setting this record through her 20’s, having dropped 70 pounds from her time as a “non-outdoorsy” teen.
