hiking gear

Every year John and a handful of people hike the Aspen Grove trail up the backside of Timpanogos Mountain. He took Enna last year and he wants to take Makoa this year. It's an all day hike, I think about 18 miles and at one point you slide down a glacier. At this point John has to be able to use his hands to control his speed and direction so he cant hold Makoa on his lap and he's too big to shove into a backpack like he did with Enna last year.
John was in a pickle and didn't know how Makoa could come with if there was no way to get down the glacier, that is until I found an awesome dog pack.
You may laugh, in fact I was laughing the whole time Makoa was in it, but now he can join in on the fun. I got the pack from Golly Gear for $40.00 plus shipping and handling.
We're not going to be those weirdos that carry their dogs around the neighborhood but we do plan on getting one for Enna and using them for other activities (like four wheeling).
