Is this trek, dog friendly? I have 2 dogs I'd like to bring. Are there any special considerations regarding this?

if dogs are good - I would like to bring my new foster Daphne (she is gay friendly) and is up for adoption as well.

I am happy with dogs. I don't see anything on their website (http://lgnc.org/) that gives policies on dogs. I tried calling them (610) 760-8889), but no answer. You can either come and hope there is no policy against dogs, or try calling them again to ask. Hope you both end up coming and are able to bring you dogs.

Hi everyone. Looking forward to this weekend. Fortunately, the worst of the rain will be on Friday, though we may get scattered thunderstorms on Saturday, especially in the morning, so please be prepared with raingear and good hiking shoes. Remember to also bring sunscreen, hat, water to drink, and snacks.
