HI there! I will say that this hike (and climb down to the hot spring) is not really best for every type of dog. I was there recently and a couple happened to have a blind dog. Now, seriously no offense intended toward this couple, but their dog almost fell down the cliff. When it got to the hot spring area, it didn't know where it was and they weren't guiding it... that said, it jumped into the frozen river!
There was another dog brought there and it handed the rocks and everything much better, but I have to say really took away from the relaxing part of the experience for me because people were so focused on the dog the whole time.
In my personal opinion, it's not really ideal for dogs... :/ But that's just me. I also say that out of consideration for people who want to have a spa-like experience in nature... Take it or leave it but that was my experience. Thanks!
