You won't be alone.

About 400 prospective thru hikers and section hikers will start their
hikes at the southern terminus within a four-week window starting in
mid-April. That will mean an average of 14 hikers per day starting the
trail. The number will be much higher if you start the last weekend in
April. You will meet up with other hikers as you hike. If you are
concerned about safety, just know that PCT hikers look out for each
other. If something goes wrong, there will be someone hiking past you
shortly who can offer help.
