In reply to Ceilon. Hi Ceilon, It's so nice to connect with a fellow hiker! I have never been to Montana, but I bet the trails are beautiful. I totally agree. Although I do want to avoid the bears!

Great post with extremely usable information! Especially for the novice hiker. My husband and I LIVE on hiking trails in the mountains of Montana in the summer. It is our favorite thing to do besides slow-water kayaking. And solo is our preference, too. If you’re with a crowd of people you may scare off the bears but you also miss a lot of the scenery, treebathing benefits, and solace to too much conversation.

Hi Hollee,
I didn’t know either for the longest time! It’s one of those lesser well-known rules that I wish was shared more.

In reply to Mimi. Hi Mimi, Glad to meet another hiker! That's a good tip too, especially when solo. I do sometimes get a bit nervous if I find myself on a trail all alone.

In reply to Debby. Hi Debby, I totally get sticking with what you know. There is comfort in the familiar. But I do hope you can branch out a bit and try some new ones too. The yielding is definitely not well-known.
