I'm thinking of doing the Webster-Jackson loop (summit Mt. Jackson first) and have read that there's some scrambling up the Mt. Jackson summit. Can anyone tell me if this is do-able for most dogs? I have 2 very agile Siberian Huskies but thought I'd ask.

Thanks.
 
2 Dogs

As long as they're reasonably agile it should be no problem. Minor scrambling with only one real trouble spot. My small dog has no problem. I usually find in spots like this that the dog has already found a way to the top before I get there. :)

I've taken two separate dogs up there without issue. I suppose a small dog might, but it's really nothing much

I've only done Jackson with my dog and there was really only one trouble spot for her just below the summit where I had to help her. I think you should be fine with huskies - maybe bring a harness just in case. I'll defer to others on the rest of the loop.
