​Pups are welcome (can’t go to Pup Creek Falls without your pup!), but out of respect to other hikers we are limiting the number of pups to 4. Please indicate when you register if you plan to bring your pup by emailing aym@mazamas.org :) . All pup-ticipants must be well behaved and get along with other puppers. Any participant who attempts to bring a dog who does not indicate to us by email that they will be bringing a dog will not be permitted on the hike. 

 

We have filled all available spots at this time. If you would like to attend with your dog please add yourself to the waitlist here and send us an email letting us know you'd like to bring your pupticipant.
