You're not old, Mouse, not if you can still backpack even if just overnight.

My friend Lisa was face to face with a big bear on the trail a few days earlier, but he ran away.

Lots of happy hiking and fishing when it was empty and we could eat the trout we caught. No catch and release required. Another hike would be to catch the road up Nile creek to clover springs. You need a plan since it’s on forest service roads, with lots of choices, many of which are wrong. You end at clover springs with a short walk out to the white pass highway. Obviously you could start at that end but I am less certain how to catch that end. Unlike the pct you are not going to find many, if any people. A different landscape but I love the pine and quaking aspen forest. And forest service roads are a different sort of adventure. Avoid this area during hunting season when you will find people, people with guns looking for deer and elk.
