taking a dog to Alaska
We would like to take our dog along on our 2017 trip to Alaska. She's a small dog (12 lbs) and loves to go camping with us. We wonder about hiking on trails with her and if we would be turned away any...

If you'd encounter a moose or bear on the trail, it's barking might agitate it....or it might scare it away. :)
I like dogs and always had them until recently. I also hike a lot. Whenever I run into someone on the trail who has a dog with them, on a leash or not, I try to get as far away from them as possible. Not that I don't like dogs or people who think the rules don't apply to them, but you don't know how your dog will react to a wild animal on the trail or how that wild animal will react to your dog. And unless you know for a fact that you can run faster than your dog you just might be that animal's next meal. Why take the chance?
