Re: Slip free or slip resistant hiking boots? Do they exist?

Re: Bull of the Woods - snow?

I called the ranger last week about the road to Elk lake. He said that the road was still snowed in but the fire closure has past. The east side was open to the trail heads.

Re: Bringing a dog to the sisters

I agree, don't take the dog. I did once and her feet were in shreds the first day and she was a farm dog out all the time. It must take a lot of conditioning to work up to days of travel in the woods for a dog.
