Hi I'm new to this forum and looking for some advice. I'm planning a solo trip into the Thorofare the first week of October. Starting from the Nine Mile Trailhead taking the Thorofare trail to the South Boundary trail, Two Ocean Plateau, Trail Creek, back to the Thorofare and on out. I plan 8 days at roughly 10 miles a day, possibly more miles and less days I consider myself a fairly experienced, ultralight backpacker but I've never backpacked in grizzly country. Is going solo a good idea? I like hiking/camping solo, leave no trace, keep a clean camp, hang food, etc. And plan to carry some spray. Any other tips, advice, suggestions, etc will be greatly appreciated!! Also suggestions on the best campsites or sites to see along the way!! From what I see it's a fairly level trip. Should I plan on more than 10 miles a day? How strict are they on sticking to your itinerary? What kinda weather/temperatures should I expect? Thanks in advance!!!
