Locating Honest Travel Companion

Out west, for the most part, has 'no dogs' in the National Parks. Seems like bears-in-the-woods and dogs do not get along well. Plus any other wildlife seems to take quick note of a dog present, and leave the scene promptly.

 

 

 

You may consider packing your passport, too. Montana is large, but the trip to Jasper, Canada, is short from Glacier Nation Park. Same goes for a short visit to British Columbia from Washington State. The states out west have a lot to see, and photograph.

Gerald, I have thought about the Dog thing. The problem is that so many dogs are like so many children.. Ill Behaved and ill disciplined (and poorly parented.. both dogs and children!).. so you have to be the one to set the well behaved example.

 

When I was at Glacier about a year ago, dogs were allowed in specific areas. The problem is there is a leash law and if you don't obey it and the dog wanders off the path and finds a bear, it often comes running back to you with said bear in tow (Ranger told me this). Bears cannot see well and are curious!

 

Any trip with a canine companion takes planning. I would love to go to Waterton and then on up to Calgary etc. when out there next time. However, THAT trip may need to be dog-less as crossing the international border with a dog could be an issue!

 

In all this dog/no dog discussion I find that I would love to find places to go that did not allow Children under the age of 16... and also banned computer games and boom boxes.

Nothing worse than getting on a shuttle in a NP to see something and be stuck in the bus with the screaming children!
