I dont see why not. I saw a lot of individual hikers when I went. Let someone know where your going and check in at the park desk. Take plenty of water. Its getting hot

Dont see why you wouldnt be ok. When I went, several people were hiking it on their own. Its a popular trail and even during the week, you wont be alone on the trail. Not sure what trails you plan on doing. I did high peaks, balconies cave and old Pinnacles. It was about 9miles. If I had to do it again, I would do Bear Gultch and High Peaks, 6ish miles. I thought the old pinnacles trail was rather boring and not worth the effort.

What Autumn said. Also the trails are well marked and online & paper maps very accurate. Make sure to bring loads of water as the temperature climb up pretty quickly and most trails have little shade for long stretches.

Yes you should be fine. Stick to the trails. There are plenty of other hikers around as well.

Yes, just stick to the trails most traveled. The rangers in the visitor center have lots of information and are a good resource

As long as you pick hikes within your fitness level youre fine. The park is small and has a good amount of traffic. If something were to happen, someone would definitely find you.

if you're of reasonable fitness you should be fine. only sketchy part is the short stair section, and they have hand rails. it's a popular trail, and you should have plenty of folks around should you get into any trouble.
