>>1551527I was hiking last weekend and most solo travelers were girls. The weather was terrible and I was only a few hours from City so they clearly weren't there for pics. The older dude in mountain hut I slept in noticed it too and said he have never seen as many single girls in mountains before. I think they are so overwhelmed with attention from social media, they subconsciously feel the need to escape from time to time, just like stressed out cubicle drones.
