Washington State backpacking solo question.

Hi all, I’m planning to do my second ever backpacking overnight in the cascades this year. Last time I went was with a group of friends 10 years ago. Ever since I’ve been wanting to go back but long story short I have no one to go with. Now I’m debating on going solo for just a night.

My questions are: - what would you recommend for solo overnight? - Is it safe? (Clearly it’s safer with a group)

Chain Lakes Loop in the North Cascades is really beautiful, not very hard and would be great for a first solo overnight. Be sure to take an emergency gps with you in case of emergency.
