Son wants to solo hike Chimney Rock in dark
My 19 yo son wants to do a solo hike at Chimney Top WV this weekend. He wants to do this so he can see the Milky Way. Which means hiking in the dark. On a trail he's never hiked. After a 3-hour drive from the DC area. He's in tremendous shape but not an experienced hiker. I think this is a terrible and dangerous idea. Everything I've read has scared the crap out of me.
But I am admittedly not an experienced hiker either. So I thought I'd check with people who were. He needs to use my car to do this ... I can put the kibosh on it. Or maybe the weather will.
Thoughts? Am I being overprotective or is this an absolute non-starter?
