Your Guide to Safely Hiking Alone
My favorite spring break in college was when I was studying abroad in Australia, and my close friends and I decided to opt for a week of camping in New Zealand. I had been hiking before, but this was what made me fall in love with it.
As I returned to New York, though, my city lifestyle and city friends got the best of me, and I rarely ever hit the great trails that are just a train ride away. What a waste! I know I don’t need to go with friends, but honestly, I’m scared to go hiking alone, and I don’t know where to start when it comes to doing it safely and as a woman. So I decided to speak with some avid hikers and learn a few tips to get me (and anybody who wants to hike solo) out on the trails, safe and sound.
SO, YOU WANT TO HIKE SOLO?
