You can get really good at taking a selfie....or not.
Bring your dog. They are great companions.
Don't forget to stop and enjoy the view.
I met this girl who was hiking alone to see the sunrise. She started at midnight. Alone.
Your fear will disappear when you see your dog's happy face.
Start with short trip to gain confidence.
