| As it gets dark, the alpenglow bathes the mountains in warm pastels
and then the stars come out, puncturing the night sky above the warm
glow of light spilling from the lodge. Alpenglow in Tahoe
City has an array of dog accoutrements, including the booties, sleeping
bags, pup tents, hands free leashes, collars and backpacks. I have fond memories of long backpacking trips in Yosemite and
Sequoia National Parks - watching a deer drink from a stream at dawn,
seeing alpenglow paint mountain peaks at dusk and dining on a freshly
caught rainbow trout. |
