 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Met lots of nice, friendly pups on the trail, most of which were on leash or at least staying close to their owner. There were 3 large golden retrievers that we encountered multiple times during the hike whose owner was not always in control they were not leashed and were often well ahead of their owner on the trail. The dogs were super friendly but their size may not of been appreciated by those less comfortable with dogs and should probably have been kept closer to their owner who seemed completely oblivious that her dogs might have caused an issue for some!!! |
