Teame members make a rapid descent from 8621 feet peak elevation in two-man K-9 packs

After a light repast and recon of the views, our decent rapidly down the switchbacks to the pass then down the trail required dodging mud and lingering k-9s. This peak hike is a workout for person and beast, but achievable even by beginner hikers. Acclimation to high altitudes and motivation are the all hard work it takes to summit a mountain.
