It goes without saying that no matter what you do, whether solo or in a group, safety should always be a top priority. Although you can never say for sure that something is 100% safe based on one person's experience, I can honestly say that as a petite solo female traveller, I didn't feel unsafe or at risk at any point during this hike. The campsites I stayed at were all family friendly and I met lots of lovely people along the way, as well as other solo female hikers. As a general precaution, make sure your friends and family know your route and where you are staying each night, and always keep your wits about you at all times. If something doesn't feel safe, go with your gut instinct. Make sure to carry enough food and water, wear weather-appropriate clothing and make sure you have a detailed knowledge of your equipment.
