Howdy @janton! I'm glad you enjoyed the scenery! The Sierra Nevada mountains have a seemingly never ending supply of stunning views. The dogs carry packs because... well because dog food is heavy! lol. They do their part and carry a lot of it. They like the packs too, it makes them feel important I think. I don't do much training besides hiking, my mom does though. We both hike pretty regularly though so we don't ever really get out of shape. If anything before a long backpacking trip like this I might try to do a day hike or two in the week prior to it, just so my body has a little warm up. Work out any kinks. lol.

well howdy again derekrichardson! oh that's interesting, I didn't think about dog food..so they are carrying their own food, great idea! and they climb up wherever you guys go with no danger to them, they don't go ahead of you and get into any trouble?
hey what about winter time? I mean the hiking provides wonderful posting material but obviously you won't be out in the snow storms!
I'm lucky. My dogs are very well behaved. Not really any training I did or anything like that. Just naturally good dogs. They always stay right with me.
Well.. winter time is a great time for desert adventures!! And I do actually like to get out in the snow a bit too! If you're prepared it can be lots of fun.
oh of course the desert! duh..well that makes sense and sounds like a blast!
