Water will be a big issue for you. On your first day, there are a couple
of sketchy water sources in the first four miles, and you won't have
reliable water again until you get to Lake Morena. If you are hiking
short days, you will need to carry enough water to last you and your
dogs for more than a day on the trail. Water sources after Lake Morena
are closer together, but still average about 12 miles apart.
