My wife hikes Baldy alone at least once a month and never had an issue. She carries bear spray and an air horn. Just be aware of your surroundings and you’re going to be just fine. You can pick an air horn from Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-Boat-Accessories-Sports-and-Marine-Safety-Air-Horn-8-oz/183775091
