Hiking w/Dogs - Goldwater Lakes 396 Loop

5.8 miles, 665 ft gain

I'm changing the time for the dog hike because it hasn't been cool in the afternoons.

This is a smooth trail with some good views. We'll start with 1.5 miles of gradual downhill, then 2 miles of gradual uphill. The rest of the trail is fairly flat.

You don't need to bring a dog to hike with us, but you need to be ok with stopping when the dogs need to.

My dog and I are fast hikers but the pace of the hike will be determined by the group. I wait at intersections and after long climbs.
