Yeah, I'll just echo what the others have said. I'm 70 and not only backpack quite a few miles each year, but also volunteer to do backcountry trail work. It gets me into the wilderness, keeps me fit, and I get ot hang out with great people.

If you're worried about going alone, try going with a group!
