I have to admit, doing a solo trip would be exciting as all get out. Just you and nature, a real test of your limits.

That said I would make sure due diligence was done i.e. location according to ability, route and return date logged with family and park office, appropriate gear.
Even so, "life" happens even when we do our best to mitigate it.

Here's to hoping to a safe return and one helluva story.
