|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Most of the trail is dog friendly. There are some rocky parts that were a little tricky for our dog to navigate. He is a 60lb lab w/ some hiking experience, we did have to help him a couple times. The Silver Cascade falls was a great place for him to swim. |
|
 | Bugs: |
I usually get attacked by bugs on most hikes and need bug spray. I did not need any bug spray and didn't notice any bugs. |

 | Comments: |
Great hike, Jackson had a fantastic view of Mt. Washington. It's another 1.3 miles over to Webster, worth it for the views and the Silver Cascade on the way down. Total hike took 6 hours round trip with very few breaks and lunch at the summit of Jackson. |
