How safe is a JMT trip in September for a solo 27 year old female hiker? I’m not even necessarily concerned about “creepers” on trail; moreso, water crossings alone, risk of injury alone, etc.
I haven’t done a thru hike but I grew up running long distances in the Sierras and Mammoth Region and hike regularly in SoCal. I consider myself in good shape and an avid hiker!
I want to go alone because I love spending time by myself and the JMT will be a great time to reflect on my past and future; however, I would LOVE to have some conversations with others on trail and at night I would love to potentially camp near others as I sometimes get slightly nervous at night time.
Thank you :)))
They have a lot of pairs on Amazon that are in pretty neutral colors. Just type in “Merrell Moab 3 women”. I just got a pair that I love!
