First Solo Female Hike with My Dog 🐾 | Mount Wilson Birthday Vlog

For my birthday, I took myself and my dog Odie on our first solo hike together at Mount Wilson Observatory. This was my first time doing a trail solo as a female hiker—and it was both challenging and empowering.

We tackled part of the Rim Trail, ran into steep cliffside drop-offs, took lots of breaks (we're out of shape 🫠), and spotted a deer! After making it back safely to the car, I ended my birthday with sushi and family time.

🐾 If you're a solo female hiker or want to start, this vlog is for you.
