Helpful Tips about the trail:
* The popular O Circuit trail and W trail are very well marked and can easily be done as a solo traveler.
* The trail is completely safe.
* Along the trail there are designated campsites where you stay. You can bring your own tent, rent a tent or even rent a room at some campsites.
* Pack extra socks and a warm, clean shirt/jacket to wear each night after your hike.
* Take the shuttle to get you to the start of the trail.
* Physically prepare for this hike with longer hikes including a weighted pack and do hill training.

In travel we must be flexible with our plans, especially if there is a physical injury.
Remember to always give yourself grace when traveling and listen to your body.
