Hi, I tend to hike alone quite a bit but recently joined a couple women’s hiking groups and have gone twice. But I did Baldy solo last weekend because I couldn’t find anyone who could go that day. I was determined to do it so I did. I would like a hiking buddy for future bigger hikes. I live in Irvine so I’m open to doing some hikes so you can work your way up to harder ones. I have issues with my legs and knees too just have to be careful and go slow if needed.

Baldy was a long day. Whole thing took me 9 hours and that’s including my breaks. 7 hours of actual moving on the trails.
