Emily Halnon, a passionate ultrarunner, embarked on a quest to honor her mother's adventurous spirit by attempting to break the record for the Fastest Known Time on the Pacific Crest Trail. Her mother, who had taken up running in her late 40s and completed her first marathon at 50, had inspired Emily to pursue her own athletic pursuits. Despite her mother's passing due to uterine cancer at just 66 years old, Emily was determined to pay tribute to her remarkable life. The book, "To the Gorge," follows Emily's journey as she runs the 460-mile Pacific Crest Trail across Oregon, covering nearly 60 miles a day over mountainous terrain. Along the way, she faces numerous challenges, including hammered muscles, golf ball-sized blisters, sleep deprivation, hallucinations, and cougar encounters. The hardest run of her life, Emily's journey is also intertwined with her remembrances of her mother's life and death, exploring the complicated experience of grief and what shines through it. "To the Gorge" resonates with anyone who has faced hardships in life and has had to dig deep to find strength and resilience.
