  1. Hi, how did your dogs do on the devil's path? I was thinking of bringing my dog, but she doesn't do well when there's rock scrambling (nor does she like to be carried). Thanks!

    1. Jordan,
      The dogs did amazing although they both love rock scrambling and multi day trips. There were some spots where we had to harness them in and pull them up and over a few faces. They didn't like that much but were calm enough to get through it. By the end of the 3rd day we all had blisters including the dogs. Both dogs slept for days once we got home. It was rough but enjoyable. Best of luck to you.
