Andrew Skurka is the world’s greatest hiker, famed already for his 6,875mi Great Western Loop.
That was nothing compared to his most recent achievement.
…his 4679 mile (7530km) Alaska-Yukon Expedition set a new standard for all others to follow.
The route passed through some of the most remote places in the U.S. and Canada, crossing eight national parks and several mountain ranges in the process. As is typical, Andrew went alone and spent 176 days on the trail hiking, skiing, and rafting his way through the unforgiving wilderness.
Now, his full story is finally being told in the pages of National Geographic Magazine, which will feature Skruka’s adventure in the March issue that will be hitting newsstands soon. …
It was harsh.
