I am planning a section hike between Sams Gap and US19. I have a pretty spry 30-pound terrier mix and I'm considering bringing him with me. Anyone know if this stretch of the trail holds any big challenges for canines? I just don't want to run into anything he can't handle, like a long rock scramble on a ridge or something.

The real question is, if you run into something like that, can you pick him up and put him on the next rock? Remember how short his little legs are. Even big dogs need a little help every now and then.
