For our final Camino training walk with Gus we went up to Cutthroat Pass which is part of the Pacific Crest Trail. As per usual, he took the lead all the way up and we followed along.
This hike has some of the best high Alpine views and it was a beautiful day ! Luckily, there were no porcupines for Gus to protect us from and no quills to remove from his snout...this time.
Once we broke out of the woods we walked on all kinds of different trails which would be great training for the Camino.
The closer we got to the summit, the more weary Gus the Youngster became and began calling for more and more frequent breaks.
However, after a few hours all of us did make it to the top with it's view of Glacier Peak off in the distance!
Then, after lunch we headed back down which always goes much quicker.
In closing here's a shot of Gus to show Scale and how for a little guy, he's a tough hiker.
In a few days we head for Spain and a lot more walking.
Adios!
