Yeah maybe since it’s such a popular trail there’s just a higher likelihood of ANYTHING happening, even though the trail itself doesn’t have many hazards

Good job! Sometimes I sing or clap when I’m hiking for that reason, but I’ve still managed to surprise some black bears somehow.

Jeez, random stuff like that you can't even prepare for or fathom in advance. I wonder what my brain would have thought was happening, maybe an avalanche or apocalypse #parkchat

Ha that is indeed an unusual one! I've never lost a shoe completely but the first big hike I ever did the sole ripped off my shoe and I had to duct tape it. Recently on a group backpacking trip one guy lost the sole of his shoe too, and we had to wrap paracord around to tie it together. #parkchat

100% and I think there's also something to be said for messing up and having a few blunders in the beginning, it's like you kinda have to have a few of those to learn. Can't come out the gate fully formed. Some things you wouldn't even think to google, I've run into the most random issues #parkchat
