Chena Dome
We didn't go super far (far enough) over labor day weekend but it was plenty good for wearing the dogs out.
To celebrate labor day, and the first one I haven't worked in a few years, Jessie and I took the dogs up Chena Dome out near Chena Hot Springs. It's a pretty tough 30 miles loop. Water turned out to be one of our weaknesses. The dirty dogs were pretty thirsty most of the trip:
And although there was supposed to be some water up there we couldn't find any this late in the year. So, we hung out on top till we ran out and then came back. In the mean time though the dogs had a blast running around, Matilda bit the two men on the trail we came across (that was um, interesting). But most of the time it was pretty fun.
We didn't make it that far up the trail, three and a half miles maybe but the view was still nice!
And it was still a good enough trip to wear the dogs out. Yay for that! Plus we thought the last big hike of the summer.
