Carol Col & Royce Lakes - Dog?
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2016 9:22 pm
Hi all,
Officially new to this site, but already love the positivity and support it offers. Looking forward to people's expertise.
I have a ~32mi route planned out for 4D/3N in early August--North Lake - Piute Pass - Carol Col - Elba Lake - Pine Creek Pass - Granite Park - Royce Pass - French Canyon - Hutchinson Meadow - Piute Pass - North Lake.
Two XC passes planned--Carol Col then Royce Pass. Are these doable with a dog? Carol Col will be South-North and Royce Pass will be North-->South. Been browsing info here and online but wanted personal opinions.
Dog is a strong hiker as a German Shepherd/Hound/Lab mix--can do up to 12mi daily. Except we haven't had hardly any XC with her... Hikers are Level 3, comfortable with snow travel and river crossings. Would appreciate any insight into the passes, especially with a canine. Thanks!
