Dog Hiking North Pack Monadnock
<p> Hikie north pack monadnock with your dog!</p>
Details
This will be an easy hike , listed as moderate since there is a small section of rock scramble we must go up. North Pack Monadnock , not to be confused with Mt. Monadnock! ( which doesn't allow dogs ) , is North of Pack Monadnock also known as Miller State Park. North Pack has no rangers and is known to be dog friendly. I have climbed this section many times and have always come upon others with their dogs. Your dog , IF trained properly , can even be off leash on this trail!
We will meet at my house since parking is limited and not easy to find. Then we will carpool to the North side of North pack and hike up to the top. This is a short hike up , about 2 miles i believe , taking about 30 minutes , depending upon how often we stop. At the top we can relax and decide if we want to go further on down the other side of North pack and then up the North side of Pack ; up to Miller State Park. This would take about an hour more. If we do , your dog will need to be leashed once we reach the park. We can have lunch there. ( bring a bag lunch please! ) Then go back down and over and up North pack then back down to the car.
So if the group decides to go to Miller State park then this hike will be about 2 to 3 hours long , walking time. My 80 year old Dad did this hike with me so it's not too difficult! All are invited back to my house for a dip in my pool and socializing ; my 10 acres are completely fenced in so your dog is free to run around. Please do not bring your dog if you can't keep it from jumping in my pool! Vinyl liners and dog claws don't mix well.
Directions
Meet at my house between 10:30 and 10:45. Do not arrive earlier as the property is gated and you will not get in! Mapquest directions and if you need further help simply email me. 93 Old Greenfield Road , Peterborough , NH. 03458. My house is very easy to find. Bring a bag lunch for yourself and water for your dog! I will not let your dog go if he is too old or is not used to hiking. Pease do not put me in that position!
