[pct-l] Thru hiking with dog

[Edward Anderson]

I recall other crossings that would be very difficult for a dog.  Adams Creek below the Adams Glacier comes to mind. It was a raging torrent - I could hear it from several hundred yards away. I waited for morning to cross. It was still pretty intense.

hiking poles.  So how a dog would manage ...

That's true, except that the vast majority of challenging river crossings
are located in the Sierra where dogs aren't legally allowed to go anyway.
