I am a mid-fourties female who only got into hiking a few years ago and i am the first to admit I am still terribly out of shape. I always leave the trailhead around sunrise but am never actually in a hurry. I prefer solo hiking because all the wildlife come out when it is quiet and i am also an amateur photographer. Oh. I should probably mention that I am looking for Jasper National Park during the summer of 2018 and that i have a plate and three pins in my left knee that add a bit of a challenge (but not stop me)
