Leave No Trace: Humans and dogs have the same Leave No Trace rule on the Chilkoot Trail: Pet waste must be picked up and disposed in an established toilet facility or packed out. Due to the prolific distribution of cultural resources and artifacts along the Chilkoot Trail, “cat holes” are prohibited in the park. Start a trail-training regimen: Ease your dog into the routine of hiking. Start with hikes of an hour or so, and then track the dog’s energy level afterwards. If your dog is still super active, increase the time for the next training hike. Your goal is to work up to the amount of trail time you plan to do on future day hikes or backpacking trips.
