Can a dog
get in the way of sight seeing? We want to get a pet but are waiting until after our trip unless it won't matter. I know Denali will be an issue but is there any other time you were sorry you had a do...

Thanks for the replies to my ? but we are not thinking of picking up a dog on our way to Alaska nor will this be our first dog. I'm just curious if a pet affected what you could and couldn't do in Alaska.
Thanks
I wasn't implying that. Just that the dog would be a new resident in your household and, as such, will have unknown factors that you would not be aware of when you leave for your trip. Those unknown factors CAN make for a rough trip (even if the trip is a "dog friendly" trip). How the dog handles different situations? What fears the dog might have? These can add a lot of stress to you during your trip.
Since the trip is planned and you don't have a dog at the moment (and planned the trip without consideration for a dog), I think you're better off waiting to get the dog until you get home. Then start incorporating the dog into your travels as you learn its needs and issues, etc. It will allow you more time to find the right dog, get to know the dog, adjust the dog to RV life, etc., rather than rushing things.
