Re: Easy overnighters for first outing with pup

Great suggestions, thanks! 20 lakes basin is a great idea. I've dayhiked up there and done the peaks, but never just sat back and enjoyed the lakes. I spotted several nice looking remote campsites up there when I did North last summer and they'd be great with the pup.
We've had him in some pretty rough desert terrain and he does great with booties. I'd prefer him to build up the paw pads but I always have those booties along in case terrain gets tough. He's also slept in a tent happily. On his first camping trip a bear wandered through camp. We were sleeping in the back of the truck and Thor just sat up and stared out the back, perfectly silent as he watched the bear go by. He's not very wildlife reactive, except birds do catch his attention. He barked at a wild horse once.
@DriveFly44 omg, what a cutie! That was the landshark age with Thor, I would expect him to have chewed up sleeping pads and sleeping bags at that age! Maybe there are enough sticks that he leaves the expensive stuff alone.
