This is a good one for older dogs. Ours needed a break from our relentless recent pace and the rough bouldering above tree line and this was perfect. Very easy on the joints. |

 | Comments: |
We’ve never explored these trails before. We were pleasantly surprised. The view from The Scaur is beautiful (probably stunning in the fall) and the various cascades on Cascade Path were really impressive. It ended up being 10.5 miles and a little over 1700 feet of gain which made for a nice and relaxing pace. |
