  All my dogs have been great hikers, though I'm sure Benny's big nose would
  be working overtime.  The hardest bit is (a) getting to a trail, and (b)
  reading trail signs when the trail forks.  But, with a sighted person
  tagging along, those problems go away, leaving only bears!
  Thanks for the info. Enjoy your getaway, and maybe I'll see you there next
  year.
