A few weeks ago went backpacking in Big Dominguez Canyon! It was the first backpacking trip for @nck237 and the doggo @the_rouxgarou !It was an interesting trip. We were supposed to hike 5 miles up the creek that was in the canyon. I called the BLM service the day before and they said "yeah there's definitely water there". Upon arrival, we found nothing but a dry creek bed! There was a river that the dry creek normally fed into, so I ended up carrying 22 lbs of water from the river 3 miles up to our camping spot. Yikes!Besides that, we let roux off his leash for some of the more isolated parts of the trail. He was such a good boi! He never strayed more than 10 feet from us. I can tell he's going to be a great outdoors dog
Top of longs peak from a few weeks ago! We started at 2am from the trailhead and finished around 6 pm. It was 15 miles and 4k feet of elevation gain. Smokey because of the fires. The first 3rd class 14er out in Colorado I've done!
