HOW WOMEN CAN PICK THE SAFEST HIKING TRAILS/PLACES FOR PERSONAL SAFETY

 

HOW WOMEN CAN PICK THE SAFEST WAYS/TIMES/PLACES

TO SAFELY HIKE ON HIKING TRAILS (day or night)

_______________________________________________________________

Lessons learned in the wake of a tragedy. Rachel Morin, murdered on the Ma and Pa Trail, in 2023,

the father of two of her children help to come up with some of these ideas to share with all)




1. Pick a trail that is well lit, and relatively "open " in the day time


2. Grating off tunnels (have been places where many crimes

have taken place)


3. Do government areas or forrest services keep the trail well

groomed with foliage?


4. Typically, females should avoid parks after dark. If you do

choose to use a selected trail, at nighttime, you need to take

a buddy with you. It's best if the trail runs in a circle so that

you can see all you surroundings. Install motion censored 

cameras, use air tags for safety. Be armed with pepper spray

or Bear Spray, a whistle, and a small foghorn. Make sure there

is lighting on THE TRAIL AFTER DARK. Crime happens is places

that are POORLY lit. 


5. The more cameras, from a variety of angles, the safer the trails

are for everyone


6. Do not run with headphones/air buds in, as you cannot hear

if someone sneaks up on you from behind by using the element

of surprise.


7. See how much access there is for people outside the park,

to be able to "see in" to the park. The more visible you are,

the more risk could be involved.
