she can't go in the smokey's, you have to make arrangements or skip the smokeys
it really depends on the dog, there are a few rare dogs that can handle the long distance, personally I will never take my dog out for more than a month, thats the longest she's hiked before. you have to really pay attention to your dog, watching for signs of stress, injury. don't plan on pushing your dog too many miles, just because you can handle bigger miles, doesn't mean your dog can,
