Excellent video I really enjoyed it 🤙

[@brookeinboots]

So glad you liked it! Thanks for watching ❤️

I loved this hike it really is the best trail in s. Cal

[@brookeinboots]

totally agree. I think it deserves to be talked about like Baldy and Jacinto. Totally unique, and those campsites are unreal! Thanks for watching!

You don’t need to be out there alone!!!!!!! Don’t you watch those disappearance videos!!! Seriously!!

[@brookeinboots]

Thanks for the concern, but I’m one of thousands of women who solo hike every day! I take my safety very seriously, but every stat proves that I am much safer in the outdoors than in a city. I’m also a former criminal prosecutor, so I’m even more aware than the average person about the risks, and still think that the rewards are absolutely worth it!

As a solo hiking woman, I can say there’s a lot less to worry about in the backcountry than people think. And women are very capable in the outdoors

[@brookeinboots]

@LaurenRoerick you can always spot someone who’s never been solo hiking themselves. I often feel much safer out there than walking around my home. Thanks for the beautiful insight and support!

@@brookeinboots exactly! That kind of fear mongering drives me crazy 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@brookeinboots]
