I'm planning a solo hike to do Allen on Saturday.. It's my first solo peak and I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't concerned about getting lost, turned around, etc. I plan on starting just before or at dawn to give me as much daylight as possible. Looks like about an 8 mile trip. I'm figuring on doing the first 5 miles of trail in about 3 hours and the unmaintained trail to Allen in about 4 hours. I plan on dropping an hour on the way down... so about 13 hours plus an hour of rest stops during the day...
Any feedback about finding the initial trail that comes off the Opalescent river trail? I don't have a GPS, but would buy one for this trip.
Of course, I'll plan on bringing enough food, clothes and a light shelter in case I stray off course and have to spend the night in the woods.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
thanks,
