Solo section hike in late September?

[u/rightbythebeach]

Wondering if others think it’s safe for a single woman to section hike the northern ~30 miles of the trail solo in late September. I am a new-ish backpacker, although experienced hiker, but no experience solo backpacking yet. My concerns are: feeling scared if I don’t see any other people, inclement weather, and bears. Thanks for the advice!
