 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Pemi hiked on bare ground in the woods alongside the trail, carried many sticks and logs, and was as happy as can be in the great outdoors. He adapts to the conditions well and finds his own way. I was willing to turn around at any point if it was too icy for him. |

 | Comments: |
If you like ice skating, ice fishing, or pond hockey, you will find the conditions quite pleasant. If you are into parkour or training for Ninja Warrior, you will not be disappointed. Tarzan moves and sharp traction (Hillsounds are ideal) are a must. The trail looked more like a frozen waterfall with a large ribbon of solid ice the entire way. Don't force a hike. The mountains will be there another day, and a storm is brewing! |
