[pct-l] thru-hiking in 2005 with dog

This subject has been discussed before. Check the archives.

Dogs are taken on the PCT.  But, not in the National Parks nor in some other
places. Heat is a big problem for dogs. Finding enough water is a problem.
And, hiking 20+ miles per day is too. This is your hike, not your dog's. I
suggest you leave the dog with a friend.

Are you going to bring your dog on the PCT as well?  (The one planning
detail I am struggling with (for my '04 thru-hike attempt) is finding
someone to care for my dog.)  It will also be lonilier without her.  I
ALWAYS use a 6ft leash (never, ever off-leash) and am very responsible.  She
is also fairly well suited for this as she runs 5-7 miles/day and is an
Alaskan Husky mix.  Is there any way to bring her on the hike????
