Even though today\u2019s stage is shorter, tomorrow will be the most demanding of the entire circuit\u2014so we take it easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breakfast at Dickson is served at 7:30 AM and it does not disappoint: toast, ham, cheese, scrambled eggs, butter, jam, muesli, yogurt\u2026 a feast to start the day strong. We pack our bags, check the weather forecast, say goodbye to the lodge team, and hit the trail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Forest, mosquitoes and first viewpoints<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s route features a steady incline, with some steeper sections and flatter ones, but not a single real descent along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We head into a dense, humid, and shady forest. Just as we were warned: <strong>this is the park\u2019s mosquito capital<\/strong>. While hiking, they\u2019re not too annoying, but the moment we stop\u2026 they swarm. We apply repellent and limit breaks to the bare minimum.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the first big climb, we reach a viewpoint with a spectacular view. Quick photo stop, and we continue. The landscape doesn\u2019t change much during the first 6 miles (10 km), but the feeling of being completely surrounded by nature never fades.  <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sendero-hasta-perros.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"dickson trail to dogs\" class=\"wp-image-36426\" style=\"width:655px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sendero-hasta-perros.jpg?w=4000&amp;ssl=1 4000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sendero-hasta-perros.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sendero-hasta-perros.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sendero-hasta-perros.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sendero-hasta-perros.jpg?resize=1200%2C900&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sendero-hasta-perros.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sendero-hasta-perros.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sendero-hasta-perros.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sendero-hasta-perros.jpg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sendero-hasta-perros.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sendero-hasta-perros.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Landscape Shift and Goodbye Mosquitoes!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We eat lunch on the go, giving the mosquitoes no chance to catch up. Not long after, the environment starts to change: we cross a few wooden bridges, the terrain becomes rockier, and the vegetation thins out. The temperature drops about 9\u00b0F (5\u00b0C), and best of all\u2026 the mosquitoes vanish!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know we\u2019re getting close when we start to see the glacial moraine.
