    Lots of fun

    We took our 1 year old daschund/pit mix (muscles, long body, short legs) and she loved it. we had to help her down once but other than that no problems. Humans enjoyed it to, great hike, great scenery.

    Difficult terrain

    This is a great trail if you have athletic dogs and are in decent shape yourself. Be warned that there are some parts with difficult and slippery terrain. My 12 and 13 year old huskies did pretty well on the trail, but did need to be lifted up and down some of the steep and slippery parts. There are parts that can get muddy if it's rained recently. It will take a couple hours to do the entire trail if you like to stop and take in the scenery, so go several hours before dusk. If you just want to do the easier part, enter the trail at the top parking lot entrance and stop at the observation area.
