Quick trail run with my dog mid day as a break from driving from WA to ID. Beautiful canyon, creek, and spring growth. Plenty of spots for the dog to drink but watch for snakes. We went about halfway to the end before it got fairly brushy/overgrown and we spooked a rattlesnake in the very overgrown area so we called it there and turned around.
Dog got 4 ticks and I got 1 so make sure you tuck in those layers and tick check when you get back to the car!
