Hikes by Difficulty

Osceola's "chimney"
Using strictly my own, subjective opinion and observations of how the dogs did, here are my posts categorized by difficulty to one another.  Distance and terrain/grade were the main considerations.  For example, some hikes were easy but long so they may have found themselves in a "moderate" category. Other factors like views, fun factor, etc. you'll find reflections on in the posts themselves.  You may find it helpful to read the "About Us" tab and/or the paw friendliness comments I include at the end of each post.
