Your Dog's Favorite Hikes In Alaska
Submitted by Natalie
I hiked in Alaska with multiple dogs in the summers of ,02 and ,03. In ,02, we did the Pinnel Mtn. Trail, about 30 miles of trail off of the Steese Hwy. It was great- the dogs were totally in their element! We had two dogs then, and they each carried a backpack with not only their food and water, but the extra stuff we couldn,t carry too. They loved the freedom to roam and were great! The next summer, we did the Chena Dome Trail, off of Chena Hot Springs road with three people and four dogs. Two of the dogs had packs, and carried all the "dog stuff with them. That was a very dry summer, and we had a hard time finding enough water for ourselves, yet the dogs were great at digging out and lapping up groundwater- they even pointed out water for us when we were running low!
These two trails are so great when you have dogs with you, as you rarely run into other people (or other dogs) who could get annoyed by your dogs. The only drawback is that you generally won,t see as much wildlife because the dogs are having so much fun chasing them around about a mile ahead of you. These are very challenging trails- especially Chena Dome, so if you have an older dog who may be slightly arthritic, I wouldn,t suggest it, as even our young healthy dogs were extremely stiff in the mornings. (Not as stiff as we were, though!)
