Hey everyone- I've been intently planning my hike for about five months now and had a couple of friends who were interested in the idea but couldn't commit. I originally intended to hike alone anyway and leave it up to chance to end up in a group but I think I would I would feel a little better about it if I had another female to hike with, at least in the beginning (as would my family and friends). I'm 31 and am active with hiking and some camping experience. I am anticipating hiking at a faster pace, but taking it a little slower in the beginning as everyone recommends. If anyone is interested in possibly hiking together, send me a PM!
