This section of the LT is tough for any dog. There are ladders coming down from Mad River Glen to Ap Gap and then there are more heading to Camel's Hump. I would say no to dogs on this section. |

Yup... But after a while I was fine. |

This was 5 days on the LT. I went from Lincoln Gap to Camel's hump and ultimately had to leave trail because it was too tough on my dog. The trail itself is challenging but when you have a dog with you, it gets very tricky. As I stated above, there are a lot of ladders and some are very steep. The trail itself is rugged with scrambling and slick rocks from the rains we have had. So, my original plan was to go to Canada but I cut it short for these reasons. I have provided a link to my journal entries below. |
