At the age of 63, Helen Thayer fulfilled her dream of crossing Mongolia's Gobi Desert. She walked 1600 miles in 126-degree temperatures. This text takes readers on a trip through a landscape and introduces them to the culture of the nomadic people whose ancestors have eked out an existence in the Gobi for thousands of years.
