An fun, messy experience
The only reason I WOULD have docked a point is that we came a few days after a snowstorm, so the whole trail was a slushy, muddy mess. We luckily have two large, active dogs who don't shy away from a messy challenge, so we made do and walked on the edge of the muddy trail for a bit. When that proved to still be too much, we found a paved side road that allowed us to have some clean(er) fun while still enjoying the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and lake.

Hiking with Views!
This trail is moderate to difficult, with a steep incline in some parts, but the views at the top and the sense of accomplishment you feel at the end are unmatched. This is a trail for high energy dogs. Make sure you bring plenty of water and take breaks when needed to ensure the health and safety of yourself and your dog.
