I hike with my Cattle Dog Gus all the time. Day hikes, overnights and snowshoe. We have been at it for 9 yrs, he'll be 11 in June. Only missed one hike with him, the Enchantments where dogs are not allowed. Tough not taking him, but 5 days in the Core could not be ignored. Great vid.
Agreed, it creates an even stronger bond I feel. It was such a special adventure. Francis had the time of her life. She’s a bit too old to do big stuff anymore, but I still take her out on smaller hikes.
@ nice! Since I’m in Phoenix I can only take my dogs from November - April. I only do shorter hikes with them and trails wide enough where I can avoid rattlesnakes.
Oooh an Arizona channel? Heck yeah, I’m subbing :) oh yeah rattlesnakes are no joke. We have some on the eastern side of Washington, but I’ve only seen one so far
@ thanks for the sub! I saw 4 this hiking season. 2 surprised me and the other 2 I saw ahead of time! It’s too cold for them now but I’ll watch out for them again in April. I have a couple on my videos/shorts. 😆
Thank youuuu! She’s still going strong :) older now, so she can’t go on as many adventures with me anymore, but she had a blast on this trip. Thank you for watching 🥰🥰
Thank you much :) yes you totally should go! It was phenomenal. I meant to go to Image Lake to camp the first night, but ran out of daylight. The huge basin before going up to spider gap is a wonderland. I would love to spend more time there, especially in sunnier weather. Like your channel as well! Subbed so I can see your future Glacier Peak adventure :)
Every time I hear great stories like this makes me feel to no fear an encounter (have always respect nature and animals) however when I hear horror stories about “big foot” of people that say they looked like wolf of bear, I wonder if they are mistaken it for werewolves or other entities. I want to believe Big foot doesn’t want to be seen or found and is not aggressive as long as no one mess with him
Omg so I have a story. I’ve seen a lot of bears and elk living in the Pacific Northwest, but one night shortly after the eclipse in 2017, I was camping alone near Mount Saint Helens. Had a campfire lit and was sitting around it. Something BIG ran up to me through the woods. *THUMP. THUMP. THUMP* right up to where I was camped. It wasn’t afraid of the fire. I threw a big rock into the woods (not at it) to try and scare it away. It ran TOWARDS where I had thrown the rock, then was silent. By then I was petrified since it didn’t seem afraid, it was just… curious. Then it slowly walked away. About 10 minutes later, way off in the distance, I heard this insanely long drawn out scream/howl noise that I’ve never heard in all my years in the PNW. Not an elk, not a cougar, not a bear. I’ll never forget that night
Actually my next video will have a bear encounter (didn’t capture it on film, just afterwards) and something else kinda creepy at the end. Keep an eye out for it next week!

Hiking with dogs makes it extra special! I bring mine along as much as I can. Looks like a great adventure!❤❤❤
