Dogs must be well-behaved, non-reactive and should be able to walk at a moderate pace for 3 hours (though we allow plenty time to sniff and “mark”).

We will practice Leave No Trace (LNT) with NO exceptions. If you don’t want to carry your dog’s poop with you, this is not the hike for you.

Dogs must be leashed at all times.
